Now here we go
Rim-shot shuckle-sloop
Off sleeping down
Razor blade highways
Shingle shack cigars
Puffing clouds on corners
In the haloed shade
Her slip-sliding hips
Move me into motion
Hair tossing thinking
Don’t stop now
We’re still alive
*
Sister sister I hear
You singing dreams
Heaven sent rhythms
Shuckle-jiving placing
Hands against hearts
Your smile bedewing
My smiling eyes
Skipping ‘cross sidewalks
Past honky-tonks
Gleaming midnight dreams
You move me thinking
Don’t stop now
We’re still alive
*
Sweet deep sister voice
Moving soul-silk earth-deep
Pulsing muscles move
Dancing joy’s hearts
Yes yes yes
We’re still alive
*
For E.D. with love and respect
