I love "Strictly Ballroom" and "Mad Hot Ballroom" and even "Shall We Dance." Is it possible to fit the dances meant for partners into poetry of solitude and absence? As far as I'm concerned anything is possible, eh.

    hand held outstretched
    fingers palming ribs like keys
    deep breath, it's tango

    fill the room with fire
    playfully lights desire
    grab someone and dance
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    continued

    and she stares

    holding a rose
    blood red her lips sing
    fall with me
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool

    hair covers her face
    she lets go
    with tears

    Open-ended invitation
    dark lashes across
    a few foot divide

    she bends in tango
