Jazz Suite Waltz

Here we recline among the stars
Bloodbrothers to mighty sun
Thoughtfully watch a waltz unfold
Shostakovich comes to mind

The stars like jazz, admire improv
They ask Gershwin for a tune
Come-all-you to the great dancehall
Sing and whirl the 'verse away

We are dancing with the novas
Waltzing with spiraling twins
Violent and careless partners
Swing each other frenzied round

Stellar arthritis settles in
Movement is softly slowing
As participants take their rest
Cosmic hypothermia
