Long Baile Poems

Baile con migo, hips made from the rhythm of merengés and cumbias, samba, swagger and a pinch of azucar mixed into my backbone. 
My first language was Spanish. 
Learned from sweet stories told by my...

 The Andalusian Gypsy dancer
 El baile flamenco tonight…Ole!

born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting

Schmetterlinge im Tanz 
Sommerreigen am Nachmittag
Mosaik der Natur 

Von Ferne der Ruf eines Kuckucks
Aus seinem unsichtbarem Versteck

Summer roundelay in the afternoon 
A mosaic of nature 

From the distance the cry...

Autumn winds duende with flair.
The leaves falling from trees aflame,
twisting and twirling across the aire,
gliding on the cool, frosty first rain.

The leaves falling from trees aflame
rouge the baile floor as a mosaic
gliding on the cool,...

Rolling down the contours of Iberian Peninsula
the picturesque highlands of lofty Andalusia
fringe the landscape of the great plain of Spain,
cradling the ancient cities of Madrid and Segovia.

In the frenzy arena horny bull charges as if...
