Hands Dance - Sean Nicholas Savage

Last night we danced home again on our hands

Through a water labrynth like two tarzans

Through crippled neighbourhood in flight

With its slopes and shadows and streams of light

I carried you home on my back

Strangling a trail

Swooping the heights

Screaming still so in love

I woke, fingers touching a cold human hand

I tore my pillows away

Too frightened to see

That the dead hand belonged to me

I’d gone and left it behind

Still back in the deep

Flying you home in our beautiful sleep

Doin' the hands dance

Doin' the hands dance
