DANCING WITH MELANCHOLY

Seduced into meditation
by the voice of Reason
Reason has a beautiful voice
if you take the time
to give her the time
she waits patiently
like a mother
watching the clock
and when her young arrive
they are painted a morose blue
and when the chamber music
begins to throb like a cellist's
heart
Reason finds herself
dancing with Melancholy
and they waltz around and around
until Reason, out of breath
stops dancing
and then Melancholy
sits and waits like a young girl
watching the clock
waiting for her hair to turn gray
