1944

We were dancing…
(The sun coming up between the
Paws of the Sphinx)

We were dancing…
(London, lying in the land
Of no return)

We were dancing…
(A spoken language
Burning in the streets)

We were dancing…
(Teenagers, by the setting of the sea
And the rising of the moon)

We were dancing…
(Overhead, the german missiles
Climbing the stairs, or falling suddenly)

We were dancing…
(From the beginning of our existence,
We promised to meet next month)

We were dancing…
(I stood at her house, below the sun,
The buzzbomb had destroyed her family

And my
Lovely
Girl)
