touch, the language,
is illumination
unveiling a dream
of patterns learned;
mambo is illumination
of the heart's emotion
not just patterns learned
not just steps memorized;
the heart's motion
is stronger than the tumbao,
mesmerizing swaying steps:
a practice of balance
stronger than the tumbao,
as two rhumba,
practice balance
hand pushes hand yields
as two rhumba,
beyond talent or rhythm
hand pushes hand yields
to desire, to control
more than talent: rhythm
primordial memories,
desires, control
shimmy through the body
primordial desires
through arms taut or lithe
shimmy through the body:
silent messages for a stranger
through arms taut or lithe
the dream unveils
silent messages from a stranger
the language: touch
