TWO TO TANGO

I daresay it's prudent to add a disclaimer to this sonnet, so I will. It's not autobiographical. And I don't dance. 





















THE DANCE              


Some unexpected magic that first time

we met, a lively group of four or more,

drew us together, partners in some crime

not yet committed. While they took the floor,

your husband and my wife, we sat and spoke

of everything and nothing, time danced by.

It seemed that something, in us both, awoke 

and took control as we sat eye to eye.

It was as though we spoke in tongues unknown

to those around us. Suddenly we knew

that one day in the future we’d atone

for what we felt and what we’d choose to do.

The music rose and fell. We sat, entranced,

while, unsuspectingly, our partners danced.
