tonight, more than anything, i long to dance with youto be embraced by your lean, long armslike a cluster of young fruitgrowing up within the embraceof the blueberry branches in july
when we dance your body is like a rocking chairsturdy, and swaying with the musici sink into your framesame as i would when i was a tired childnuzzling into the embrace of the foregone wooden rockersthat adorned my great grandmother's front porch
i yearn to hear the creaks of your soft wooden voicewafting above my hairas i twirl 'round you
