Slow-Dancing

                                                                  

Walking at a slow, unfocused clip, at a low elevation,

On one of this fitness center's treadmills,

I listen, on my iPod, over and over and over,

To "Touch Me When We're Dancing."

The hauntingly romantic lyrics

Of Karen Carpenter's rapturous, fluid swoon

Draw me into a fantasy of dancing nude with you,

Though you're a thousand miles away

And won't be home until late tomorrow afternoon.

Gradually, I feel my feet moving to the music,

My body gliding into a sway,

My blood humming "let your love flow through me"...

The two of us holding each other close,

Our hearts beating together, slow-dancing.
