our apartment of profound Poetry
she appeared
Andalusian dancer fit
dazzling lace Spanish dress,
white fringe happily wheeling,
Ornette fingering his horny horn,
flamenco charcoal black shawl,
effortlessly leaving women taunting,
thus insulating her essence
thus, she'd emerged,
couldn't help myself…
because she is there in my shoes,
some disembodied Carmen embracing lovers’ visions,
red candlelight midnight Indian Ocean hair streaming mama
now she was suddenly somber
suddenly jeans
suddenly dreaming
suddenly forlorn,
dodging misfits
fighting back those fossilized tears
her history’s years
serving endless days
offering some night’s loneliness
some light of hope,
Redskin dress candlelight
then now tonight I dress in your jeans
impersonate your heart,
you lent yourself to me
your love
your then,
now,
your lovers’ bailes,
and now I give myself to you…
so let us dance,
together,
¡un poema perfecto!
