Chatham-Kent 4. The night the music ended

The night the music ended

Leonard says he’s
always loved
to dance
Disco night at the
Gallery or
when he was 26 and met
Sharon.
She thought he was
boring, arrogant
even full of  it
but he showed her -
him
dancing, at first
the swing,
then twisting, moving
to the sound as his brush
with a life all its own.
Not like today.
Then there were
regular dances
couples taking a drag
and making out:
lips locked in dark
corners. Feeling
movement, sensations
soft, liquid.
Today art cost the
corner artist 50%
60% in Toronto.
And there are no dances
cigarettes dark anywhere;
ostracized to the light.
Now he
stands still
quiet.
Reproach ending

the dance.
