It's a risk, posting this before showing it to my wife:
Dancing Lesson
A country waltz, his wife 3 states away,
And Maggie closer than he'd known he'd need
Her just a moment past--
It's hard; she lifts to whisper "It's OK,"
And just like that it's easy, guaranteed
That Maggie's not the last.
As usual, this is the first breathing draft. Anybody want to spank it?
Revision 03 01 03
Dancing Lesson
A slow country waltz, his wife 3 states away,
And Grace is closer than he'd thought to hold
Her just a moment past--
It's hard, and when she whispers, "It's OK,"
He checks a groan as all at once he knows
That she won't be the last.
My wife still hasn't seen this. But she's only 2 states away.
