a dance? <br />a candle flame <br />courting <br />faint breeze <br />to and fro <br />to and fro <br />slender <br />shadows <br /> <br />the autumn leaf <br />twists, twists <br />on a twig <br />eve of separation <br />lovers refusing <br />each other go <br /> <br />red and brown maple <br />swirl in unison <br />beat their last drum <br />then let themselves <br />free from hangers <br />trail the breeze <br />swirl, twirl, <br />somersault, <br />jump over each other <br />hip hop dancers <br />in maddening mood <br /> <br />the two parter <br />floral crepe curtain <br />at the open window <br />springs a solitary flight <br />up down, down up, twists <br /> <br />her fair and frail physique <br />over the field <br />a pink lotus in lake <br />gently, gently <br />a darting shadow <br />over the blazing sky <br /> <br />the ants on a <br />floating leaf <br />run round the edge <br />cross to the other edge <br />run round the edge <br />cross to the other edge <br /> <br />rain <br />under the streetlamp <br />swarm of insects <br />drunken, in their last frenzy <br />over elixir of light <br /> <br />joining the fiesta <br />in the streets <br />reflected in carlight <br />a million girls jump <br />flaunt their skirts <br />and well honed postures <br />heels over heads<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dance/
