I remember when we danced,
Clumsy waltzing in your living room.
‘Terrible leader.’ I said, but really
I just couldn’t follow
Because I’m like the wind,
That no one leads anywhere.
And I love dancing,
Because it is the language of
Love that humans speak
When words fail.
I remember screaming
‘I love you’ through my eyes
So loud I’m sure that you heard it,
Even though I’m too terrified to say it out loud.
So dance with me,
Because my mouth fails.
Little white coffins holding back
The three most dangerous words one can utter.
Spin me around and dizzy me up
Like I drank too much wine
And can no longer distinguish the walls from the floor,
Or your mouth from my lips,
Or you fingers from my fingers,
Or your soul from mine.
And I love wine,
Because wine tastes like love,
All bitter and sweet,
That brings colour to your cheeks
And warmth to your torso,
And makes you feel so beautifully human.
So valid and vulnerable.
And I’ll drink up any time you want
If you just keep calling me baby. . .
