- “Gentlemen, set your frames.
- This here dance starts simple
- and gets tricky real fast.
- Your lady cannot do
- the necessary turns and
- flourishes if you do not
- give her frame.
- But if you got
- steady shoulders,
- rock-like arms,
- sure footing,
- then there she goes,
- twirling, double-timing,
- knowing she can count on you
- for balance.
- Give way when she swings out,
- when she’s off balance—
- her spin will take her down.
- Then you got one bruised and
- limping little lady, don’t you know?”
- .
- You ask what I need from you
- as I rescript my life, ending what
- I thought it was and spinning into
- what it may really be. No actions,
- no words are needed, only frame,
- only the pinpoint touch of your
- solid presence, only the stillpoint
- without which there is no dance,
- and we know there is only the dance.
