Tango Poem 2

Shall We Dance?

The most beautiful three words in the language I know

Are not,

I love you.

They are, instead -

Shall we dance?

Someone asks you to dance

You say yes –

Your feet grow wings -

Your heart flutters

And you enter the kingdom

Of someone else’s arms,

Someone else’s tutelage.

You have to let go

You must let go

And let them lead.

You have no say -

For the moment you said yes

You signed a contract

With your spirit and with theirs.

And now there’s no quitting

Until the dance is done.

Or two, or three -

Or perhaps countless dances

Of unthinkable grace,

Until and when

He leads you back -

To where the others sit,

On those spare and rickety café chairs

Where the perfume mingles in fumes

Of small hunger, lesser fear and tempered hope.

You are no longer the same.

You are come back but are never really returned,

All because someone said:

Shall we dance?
