1. she'd come to my house and dance in the hall with the music up loud against the light on the wall
I danced beside her feeling no shame we were in costume and this was a game
2. she'd put on her skirt of layers of chiffon the top of the umbrella had come off so I put that on
we'd dance together then an awkward ballet she was 20 years older than I was but still we did play
3. She was 20 years older than me and many times my size but it's her little feet I remember and the look in her eyes
once when I saw her she made me a doll of ribbon and paper and ink and lace, I recall
4. I danced beside her feeling no shame we were in costume and this was a game
I think of her now I'm older I still love to dance something will shine through the body if you give it a chance
