every Friday evening
the tiled floor
the dancing feet
the shy glances
and eyes that meet
an invitation
to the dance
a brief connection
it cannot last
if he is brave
and takes a chance
do not forget
the necessary detail
of romance
a starched white collar
a kohl lined eye
red pointed shoes
a lover's lie
in the dim glow
of the frosted, fluted lamp
he executes
a lover's dance
a flawless enrosque
tight as leather
stretched over a lathe
an ocho, a figure eight
Pugliese knows the time
It is early!
No, it is late!
the wistful poet
the weary milonguero
one more dance
one more boleo
La milonga
for you I live
a happy tango
my corazon, my heart
I give!
