Tango Notes
by Julie AdamsMeeting upon the hardwood floors
feet shuffle at first, politely
finding a pace
of mirroring musical drifts
of drowsy nostalgia; in
lyrics that woo!
Each step she must anticpate,
measure the intent, intimately
flirting and flicking,
weaving a twisted path
of signature artistry
of timeless escape
as long as the music plays on...
With peaks and kicks
hinting at the abandon
of early masters
of its modern revival,
a poised heel slides back
to Argentina...
