-requiem- for the dear girl from the projects down by the river

piano:

let’s go to the music.

let’s see the floor as planetary.

let’s realize it's only our own kind

who dance with one another on purpose.

let’s be territorial.

let’s forget the thought of going outside.

with one step we begin,
with another we continue.

It's the last step which finds the dance at an end.
It's the silence at the close of the song which lingers.
