Thank you, Brandon.
The artistry you give
The way you shape your hands a gentle O to the Habibi song
The way the bounce comes up from your calf
to your whole body in the zydeco line dance.

Your deep skill and creativity
That breaks through
In a public park at 8 am on Saturdays.

You allow my creaky joints to loose
Allow us to move with a little bit of abandon
A tiny hint, a showing, of the way we (but you most of all) are really wild and free.
