about

My spouse dances. I do not. Here is a song loosely about that.

lyrics

When we were dancing,
You held my hands and
I was so nervous,
I couldn't loosen my grip.
You said it's okay--
everyone starts that way.
The night was ending;
no use pretending
I know what I'm doing.

When we were fighters,
my weight was lighter,
my jabs were useless,
Gloved or gloveless.
I tried attacking,
you started laughing.
Your laugh was lovely:
sincere and bloody.
That's how I met my match.

And as I laid on the floor of the ring,
I saw you high above the crowd,
your thighs around their shoulders,
your head in a crown.
And as I laid on the floor of the ring,
I felt the warmth of your light
and heard you say it was going to be all right.

And when I came to,
I was beside you.
The guests had gone home.
We were all alone.
Blood on my good shirt,
blood on my good skirt,
I tried to kiss you,
you squeezed the tissue
on my nose and said goodnight.
