dance

dance with me
whirl barefoot 
through the sand
to music of our own making
leaving swirling prints
for people to puzzle over
swirl through the wind
in my arms—
i'll hold onto you,
if you don't let go of me—
please—
collapse breathless
in the surf with me
giggling at our insanity
and our freedom—
come and join me
help me escape
and i'll help you
