    Poem to Janine Johnson

    Janine

    I only knew you from dancing.  Friday nights,
    I would look towards the door
    in anticipation of what fabulous dress
    and shoes you would be wearing.

    When I heard you had taken your life,
    a deep deep sadness filled my heart.
    I did not know that you, with your radiant smile
    and utterly fabulous drag,
    had such a profound ache.

    Now, I see your face before me
    and I recall when I held you in my arms
    as we two-stepped across the floor.
    I wish I had told you then
    of my admiration for your style and grace.
    Now that I know this will be no more,
    I wish there had been
    one more spin across the floor.
