i knew a woman once
we danced
so slowly almost
not moving
but just enough
her head on my shoulder

the song was long
and i thought to joke
and moved
just enough to send the message
that if she was done
or felt awkward
i was okay with that

but no
she stayed
and i held her
and we danced
and we stepped
and turned around
moving
holding
we were there
and then
the song was over
and it was like waking
from a dream
