Strutting Stuff


— not the worst
a bride six-months gone
— mixed at that
not gitanos, white trash

she was on the table
— in sequined-pink
a Bulgarian, over-made-up
— tasteless, I think

she was a wild woman
rustic, with lacquered looks
piled ribbon and jet back hair
a lean-cut figure-of-eight

— I know, stilettos
whorish short skirt

lipstick, did you see

a diamond-eyed devil
between us— a dark hole!

a real catch, we'll see

          Yos!

             Hondo

    when soldiers turn native
   on a full purse, as a matter
of course, si, el malagueña roars

            ruffle skirts
                jollity
              farruca
           foot and heel

     an arrogant young bull
José, a gitano, smiles full-faced
from Cádiz, a maestro with pull
     put "de los Cagajones"
       (horse droppings)
  "third sevillana, five total"
   in el café cantante, actual

            olé! Juana
 
          olé! los Toros

It took a while to find this, but it needed to come back to life. DR has been absent and he may not want this here, but the Poem "About the Dance" is quite a piece and worth another read...

About the Dance is indeed extraordinary, but this whole thread is worthy of another go round.

Excellent Dax, really excellent.

Cheers!

Beautiful writing, full of choices that are apt, unusual and invigorating.
