Poems

For

The

Batman

12

Dance

Kick away the carnage

The mambo is about to begin

Together we will embrace

Hand and hand

In a waltz for all time

Feel the sweat under my darkness

And twist to its lead

Tip toe and fox trot

On this street of blood and bone

Till knees beg forgiveness

Arms surrender to fracture

And sirens become applause

But sadly for us there will be no encore

For when

This salsa is over

You will know that I am not, NOT!

The caped crusader you have come to love

But I am the dark knight

And with me you only get one ballet

And one chance only to

dance
