if we had ever
in these seven years
danced together
you would know
the one way
I would let you
lead me
without question
if not
the only place
but
with heels on
I am taller than you
by inches
instead of fractions
looking up
makes you uncomfortable
leading
and so we move
to different rhythms
in separate music
you will never know
how automatic
those backward following steps
women learn as girls
are to me
encoded
in this body

I can relate from a blokes point of view, well kind of
Cool 🙂
When the music stops and disentangling and untangling have to commence – discordant inner tunes and feet of lead/clay! You describe it well, Susan..
Thanks, Noel. Wish these things would stop popping up in my head 🙂
Well done. Yet funny thing, you also know how to shuffle forward. I could play hoops in ankle straps. How many dudes could do such a thing?
LOL, no idea–I would like to see them try!
