Dancing Valentine

With many retreatings
And advancings and much flailing about
The dance is progressing
 
In the empty starry ballrooms
And the crowded streets
Where the new moves are practiced
 
And the music is louder and faster
And has still not driven out
Our demons or our angels
 
It keeps trying in bars
And small choirs in churches
To sway and to clap
 
To the words of the dance
Where the young still gather
And the old still chant
