Two hands
Between hand and side
As you inhale,
My hands expand
And you slide through the gap
In a mock Andalusian romp.
The gypsy turns and says,
“Strange there is no duende.”

I have caught your hand swinging
And have pressed it against
My heart.
But, the thumping does not feel right
Without the tick and tock
Of your halted song.

Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
