she loves the nightlife (troiku)

(Troiku)

nightlife grabs her
feet tap-tap to the beat
leaping to a tango

nightlife grabs her
blossoms like a moonflower
alive and wanting

feet tap-tap to the beat
their bodies cling urgently
little space to breathe

leaping to a tango
grabs her like a rag doll
locked in hot embrace

    1. I never learned it…I was a very late bloomer…started feeling more confident and daring in my late 40’s. It is such an amazing dance though!

    1. Thanks so much, Celestine…the first thought that came to mind when I saw “grab” was grabbing a rose to put in her mouth and dance and then my muse went with it.
