There is magic in the shadows,
as they dance towards each other,
no stiff muscles, no canes needed,
unless it’s part of the dance.
There is magic in the light too,
casting shadows towards each other.
What’s important is not the physics,
but the frisson of the dance.

OK, I admit it: I had to look up “frisson” — and am glad I did! It’s a PERFECT word for this poem, Richard. Lovely!
