Louis Falco at 80

I still see that glorious body

suspended in air

or wrappd in wheels 

stopping time


dance does that

or sex or a poem


I spread fig preserves 

on boulart toast

& remember the dancer

gliding thru my guests

at a party at my lake house


for a moment time stops again

he's in mid-leap

& I'm too young to realize

how soon the curtain drops
