siódma fala
this is where she lives
this is her house
this cycle of a song and dance
see how she sways and swirls 
whirls whorled in a world aroused 
around and around the flow the waves
count them  
count the ways
cascade   cataract   maelstrom  
drought
the confluence of water echoed by the wind
tornadoes stretched to derechos    the
arabesque
flamenco and a tango she can do the fandango   
solo ostinato  
   there’s no control then there
is   
the calm   the lull 
 the lullaby   the whisper and the shout 
the voice giving out 
 giving way    to spiccato
her body her music is prey to the bow 
the draw   the back arching   the
release
an arrow in flight a performance a show
tracing a cardioid path 
such height  
then the descent
straight to the heart   segue
a sequence of love   happiness   betrayal   hate
the duende oh the duende
read about Duende
listen to Manuel de Falla  'Jota'
