leading into louder dance<\/p>\n
A light female voice, breathless,<\/p>\n
the words indecipherable<\/p>\n
though I listen closely<\/p>\n
only half understanding<\/p>\n
snatches of song.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018doesn\u2019t take a job in the night<\/p>\n
return to me<\/p>\n
all my friends are<\/p>\n
half-gone birds, keeping time,<\/p>\n
are words, are magnets\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who will sing for me?<\/p>\n
What is my song?<\/p>\n
Who will sing the sense of my life?<\/p>\n
Do you see me in spirit?<\/p>\n
I have loved and have been loved.<\/p>\n
They await me.<\/p>\n
