White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows

heels looking impossibly high as she twirls

The Morning of the Hurricanes Part 2 Continued from Part 1
The Beggars ’neath the balustrades,
and broken Children, Chambermaids,
are running wild from wraiths, afraid
of dreams where death redoubles.

Rosita, sultry enchantress,
dazzling Andalusian firebird,

Flared ruffled skirt swirls,

The dancer came to please.
Her long, dark hair...

Relishing the wine...
