the greatest thing
I learnt to dance today
Far beyond the spaces where I’d set myself
So long, for restless time
Swung around for the stars to glimmer and fade behind me
Left in the gloom of twilight, reeling.
I Ordered
For two
The sign said ‘delay’ but I was linked
With the muttering in quiet
Covered by the roar and the din
And the echoes of a thousand spaces
And a thousand stars
And a thousand incandescent hands
Held high and held tight
And the dancing
The dancing, which came before
The measure and the beat,
and the need that will never end.
