Can you dance the last dance for
me
can you hold him so close
you hear his heart beat

Can you whisper those perfect
words
Can you breathe so slow
in his ear

Oh my dear, what roads
we have walked
what stars have we navigated
what distant dawn have
we pursued that my
last request for you

is to dance that last dance
for me, to hold him so
close,  he can hear your
precious heart  beat

what altered ways of being
have accumulated to bringing
this tragic song of hearts
breaking
                and last dances dancing
and breath breathing in
stranger's ears - with perfect
words -

What twisting of live's direction
could mirror in reflection
spotlight this lonely
complexion in this
dwelling with the utter lack
of any perfection

that the only reflection
I can offer is for your distortion
and can you dance
this last dance for me
as you hold him so close
you can hear his heart
beat

Can you come back around
with your vision so sound
and tell me the answer
with perfect words...
