His curious quietus
exact hot hand in my back
the other in mine
held high
music missing
cross ocho walk for three cross ocho
our giro drenches
in a black T-shirt and grey sweat pants
I follow
he who mulishly resists changing partners
the leader
flame in a palm
insisting he'll never dance with anyone but me
claro muchacho that's as maybe
ready?
Three two one
detonating in forward momentum
we back into the ocho
break during
a deleterious passage
smash the floor
steps hammer out below
cheeks brush so so so
mind filled bodies on white Piazzola pillows
airy bandoneon sifts time space for footwork
adorno lapis adorno
in pewter shoes cross walk for three the kick protesta
triple gancho executing a close embrace
in an empty ballroom
glass walls
for shattering.
