Sonar

As I dance across the floor

Swift as light

flowing like water

I feel that floor you swept me across

and your arms your legs your feet

my arms my legs my feet

my smile.

Foxtrotting me through space

like a knife through butter

You moved me.

I did follow.

Oh, Man

You didn’t have to hold me so tightly

As if you needed to guide by control.

I was searching with all I had

Sending out signals

Like a bat in the night 

Sending those whale tones

My sonar calls

Through the deep sea we moved in

I wanted more than anything

To find your rhythm and mine 

Together.

I remember that

I danced with you

And was danced.
