Wow, Todd, that's wonderful.
Mine here, not my best but probably not my worst (I fondly hope) and truly scraping dry the word well.
Dancing Lessons
Here at the end of it
what I still see is the old man
skipping and dancing
over the sparse brush
at dawn, playing a flute
so we might never notice
that what first seemed a dance
was really a limp, and the man
was a ghost, given what went before
but there he was anyway
playing and dancing
so I can't regret much because
there's that old man,
and the story's not over
as long as he's dancing
and playing that flute.

And many thanks, Milo, for running this challenge, and to everyone else who danced. :
Wouldn't have missed this for the world.
