Bird dance a "duende"
Take your step and then
a pause
on again in sweet succession
swing her down to touch the ground
where hanging there
she looks into your eyes
and don't disguise
your bold intentions
inventions
up again
and on
a fireball over the floor
to swing and hover
like a plover
at the turn
plunge
red feathers flying
on again like gliding
to the door
and up the head and shoulders
as you rise
surprise
stop
hesitate then swing around the leg in full control
black looks
and fiery fierce desire
like fire
descends the blouse
as you perspire
you rest a moment on your toes
before you dive
your final pose
defiant statuesque
'duende' at its best.
