A noisy sun alarms. Flashlight in a sleepy campers face. Soundless train barrelling down the single track we share. Awaken! Make use the day. Nowhere to hide I have to be me again. I try the radio stations till I find one that fits. The windshield conspires with the solar screamer to blind me. I turn, head south because I must but convince myself I escape the blaring glare. A latin beat, its muted horn hypnotico, lures me from my cobra basket of woven woe and suddenly the sun is reduced to a spotlight shared by a smiling senorita delighted to be singled out to bailar con los gringo. White warm fingers whose instant offer lands the union of soft brown hand. High heels step purposely around my pivot and sliding feet which drag oh so sensually to the last acceptable moment of the rhythm. We join one hand, the other around her waist, a slow stall amidst the whirl, her brown eyes in innocence will follow my lead. Eyes I fall into. Eyes which are the world........... The song ends. I turn off the car and labor through the humidity to the air conditioning and other things. |

RSWells~ The imagery grabbed this reader~ 'A latin beat, its muted horn hypnotico, lures me from my cobra basket of woven woe' Nicely done, sir~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I'm enjoying the rhythms of your work very much. The slowly painted images incorporate very well into a reverie type daydream of poetry. Just beautiful. |

"A latin beat, its muted horn hypnotico, lures me from my cobra basket of woven woe and suddenly the sun is reduced to a spotlight shared by a smiling senorita delighted to be singled out to bailar con los gringo." Wonderful RSWells! Hypnotic imagery you've crafted here ... I felt as if I was a part of the scene itself ... beautifully written! Best wishes, /Kit |

Ahhh! The rumba works it's magic, anyplace, anytime. A little saucy and rich in sensuality. A great escape from the hum drum. Thank you. Sincerely, Regina |
