       she'd come to my house
       and dance in the hall
       with the music up loud
       against the light on the wall

   she'd put on her skirt
   of layers of chiffon
   the top of the umbrella had come off
   so I put that on

She was 20 years older than me
and many times my size
but it's her little feet I remember
and the look in her eyes

once when I saw her
she made me a doll
of ribbon and paper and ink
and lace I recall

I danced beside her
feeling no shame
we were in costume
and this was a game

I think of her now I'm older
I still love to dance
something will shine through the body
if you give it a chance
