Quadrille

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
four couples
sway to 
Mento music
swap partners
keep with 
floor patterns

not blinking
or missing
a step
keeping up 
traditions

become seeds
for a form 
of poetry
to be celebrated
decades later

a number rules
a spirit gains
more prominence
than format
-Quadrille
