Written to accompany a painting of a Flamenco dancer.
Couldn't figure out how to insert italic text so I have to explain that, apart for the last three lines, every odd numbered line is a response to the dancer.


Isabel



you dance

I wonder

you swirl

I take you close

head high

nuzzling low

back arches

hands roam

stamp

thrust

clap

squeeze

rhythm

passion

swing

smell

yell

yell

dance for me

always

sweet Isabel


Amsterdam
August 1999
