Flamenco in Prose
Created | Updated Jan 16, 2003
I have been missing my flamenco lessons (not due again until the beginning of February) I tried describing a flamenco dance in the form of a poem...
BAILAORA *
Fire in my heart
Fire in my soul
All consuming
Merciless
Enhancing
My ego
My strength
My effeminacy
Forceful
Yet restrained
Passionate
Yet controlled
Delicate
Yet brutal
Furious
Yet composed
Rapid feet
Intricate rhythms
Slow hands
Intricate patterns
Intense
Overwhelming
Painful
Over
Bosom heaving
Temples glistening with sweat
