on the
dark laid
wooden
floor
they glide
so slowly
as
before
each couple
holding
each
at bay
as dancing
slowly
time away
through
old glass
panels
light
shafts in
and music
drifts
from room
to room
polka
waltz
and
two step
soon they
will
drift
into the
night
perhaps
alone or
heavy hearted
but
with
music
in their
feet
so
light
