siódma fala

 







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'
