Ocho

13 May 2019

Ocho why does the tango have no limits –
beginning or end
perhaps it’s a binary system?
(like a grizzly and a ballet dancer)
you know only a few steps
yet he spins you mercilessly –
you whirl
toes stepped on you freeze momentarily
breathless
you submit to the velvety gentleness
let it lead seduce fate

we mark out moments in dance
that glint in the eye
breath like a hummingbird’s flight

I trust…
what matters is to be in your arms

Translation Graham Crawford
