Dancing, by Julie Wold Peterson, 2002


 

Odin's Diaper Dance

Surprised by music

Dips and wiggles

Feet planted firm

Legs pump and he bobs

Up and down

Me at three

Traditional folk dress in 

blue and red

Dancing to Swedish carols

Uncle John twirling me

and singing along

Breakdancing beat

Music of the street

Andy and Friend

Moonwalk, bend

Helicopter move

They sure can groove

Hand up, up

One, Two, Three

Don't look down

One, Two, Three

Let him lead

One, Two, Three

Spandex, bare feet

breathe with beauty

collapse, air out

pull up with the spine

extend body, elongate, .

push and pull the clouds

Wedding day,

beautiful

Our song,

carefully chosen

Rapture and romance,

trust and the dip

Col Ballroom

Dixieland band

Couple nearing eighty

Red pants, suspenders

Gold, sequined dress

Dancing with life and memories
