Two Minds

tumbling dancers
in reds and blacks
gyrating and impossibly twisted
twisted not unlike the hearts of mankind

movement in the glow of streetlamps
your footsteps echo on the silent cobbles
tiny stones displaced, clatter
walking, walking,

the music in the background
pulsing to the silent rhythm in your bones
shambling steps follow, follow, follow
vanish

i love you, perhaps
so much loneliness in the room
my dark corner, full of ancient cries
echo, echo, echo...stop

the dancers
sliding and bending
whirling on the ballroom floor
entwined and moving
but simply together
spinning
