WILL YOU DANCE WITH ME ?


Will you dance with me
after I’ve mopped the passage
and fed the dogs
Will you dance with me to my
Mexican samba ?


I will dance with you
after I’ve peeled the potatoes
and cut lilac lavender
We will rock till noon to the
swoon of Frank Sinatra


Shall we dance to a guitar
or choose an African drum ?
Shall we dance on grass or
swirl in hay as
horse neigh ?


We’ll dance with mielies
and violins at play
dance dewy morning away
as bald Eagle watches from high
We’ll dance in Life’s spring sigh !
