Botero’s Dreamy Dance<br />

by Debi Swim<br />

The lady in red, she in the chile con carne red<br />

and he, dapper with a neat pencil moustache<br />

danced with their eyes closed tight<br />

and the music played and they happily swayed<br />

long into the carefree night<br />

and for a short time this lady in red<br />

danced with a Carmen Amaya air<br />

and the man of the neat moustache<br />

and dapperly dressed<br />

was the dashing Fred Astaire.<br />

First line from Dancer by Carl Sandburg<br />

Editor’s note: Written in response to Prompt 41, Red Wolf Poems.<br />
