And so I say – Zingaro
What did we do to dance from front to back?
Known for our smiles and tightness of buttocks
Let us get primp.
Take to the streets from post to post
Chased by law and the law.
Free from our morning coats
And we found the stairs to our joint
Ahhhh…Melisa
Sweet twist of your hips.
And oh what gluteus
Thoughts tore our steps.
And they were fast.
Feet moved across floor with random fever
We invented new moves
Flailing and flapping
On hip tempo sass numbers
Ale chased everything
How long could such dear branches hold our minds?
We gave simple back its complications.
It is the statement of age that creeps.
Moments were never so unrealized
As when we laughed
And in our smiles wind gained new life.
We loved our youth.
It loved us.
Ever so close were our dreams to ending our happiness
Secretly they crept ever so forward.
Worms with wings.
Cars and houses and fences
Travel by and on waves of light
Our caress “oh Melisa”
What words I wrote with fingers
In your thighs
Love poetry and high insight
The beat became distant
And the nights less
Our hearing went with that fever
What is this statement I make?
Age being our ligature now
What a fear I see
We turned sharply left and right
Some saw and some saw
With eyes that knew the limits of past lives and present goals
We gave and gave and life pushed us to plentitude
And so down the stairs
To our joint
Condemned
I move and remember across that dusty floor
Rays of light show the dust like smoke
And age leaves limbs
I am a stray.
Holla out for days of rippin
Secret meetings of stone blind stompin
Let your senses find ever in ever and ever
