B of E #27: carmen and cisco

Frank Prem



she said

 

you and me
should dance latin

 

salsa is in
and I know I'd look good
in flowing skirts and ruffles
I can see you as a gaucho
sharp tight pants
and clicking boots

 

we could hold roses
between our teeth
while we're stamping our feet
on the floor

 

she said

 

I want to dress
in black and red
your senorita carmen
watch the way I shape my arms
and sway my hips
hold my head up proud

 

come on cisco

 

she said

 

come on
do you think we could dance latin

 

will you take me out stamping tonight

    Frank,
    Great to hear your
    voice again!
    I think you can dance
    to the latin beat...and
    I hope you took her out!
    Keep on dancing, my friend!
    ~Laura~

      I just write the poems, Laura. Actually, written with a friend at the time (Carmen) in mind. Her voice and mannerisms.
