Centre stage was a familiar compadre
Although love of self was not
Projecting notes
I’d try steal a floating heart
from crowd
of night
Perform
Dance the tango in the key of life
Oh ... did I say ... ‘A’ sharp please?
My brow is softening
as I teeter
on the brink of self-examination
demonstrating new steps
...
choreographing
each word
then to
twist
the new fandango
...
as Conquistadors
chant ole…
Toro!
