i danced with a ghost tonight
she had a famliar smile
sad eyes that spoke volumes
she stood awkwardly
with a silent question
on her face
i stared back confused
she nodded to my phone
more, i guessed
to the music it was playing
hesitantly i turned it up
she stared expectantly
i bowed to her
extended my hand
we danced
while the music played on and on
many, i lost count exactly
songs played
as we mimed holding each other
i felt awkward
like a kid at a school dance
but she
she was sublime
finally she stepped back
curtseyed
blew a kiss
then faded away
i let the music play on…
