We dance our little dance then
The kids all unaware
The imperative our eyes
Avoid the others stare
You spin and walk away
The kids still greeting me
He’s shuffling in the shadows
Where I deign not to see
Soon enough you join him
I glance. You walk away,
And everything inside me
Would call and have you stay
Except I understand
The debt betrayal runs
And in my hearts kept ledger
my mouth is out of funds.
