The Dance of Love

Argentine Tango

by Terry Reilly

                                                           I
 
                                                     touch, we
 
                                              touch, hands clasped,
 
                                               midriffs fused in
 
                                               sensual embrace.
 
                                        Four strutting steps then flick.
 
                                       Legs juxtapose. Reverse walk.
 
                              Heads cocked, eyes locked, devouring each 
 
                                   other with smouldering passion as
 
                                 concertinas pierce the dark smoky air.

I so wanted to learn this dance as a young man but could never master the self assured poise it demanded. I settled for the twist!
