2016 – by Brittania Goffy
You could say that
we shouldn’t dance now
and you’d be right, hey,
not for a long time
But I don’t care now
It’s over, over,
Over
and for the next day,
we are gonna par-tay
celebrate that we’re not dead
celebrate ’cause Beatles live
celebrate that there’s no plauge
celebrate cause we’re alive
Celebration – by Carol Forrester
We sang until there were no words left
and I could feel your pulse beneath my skin
thumping like a drum beat
marching us home from battle.
On wobbly legs we stumbled into ourselves,
collapsing into the grey light of morning
with laughter still on our lips
and tasting the tequila on the back of our throats.
We won’t remember what we did,
but we will remember the joy.
