One more ❤️ Rita Dove wrote a poem about learning Ballroom dancing with her husband.

“didn’t notice

how still you’d become until

we had done it

(for two measures?

four?)—achieved flight,

that swift and serene

magnificence,

before the earth

remembered who we were

and brought us down.”

~Rita Dove #poetry
