El tango
somehow I thought I knew you
or maybe dreamt you
beyond consciousness
I called out your name
and yielded to the tempo
which cuts open the flesh
a scar heals the wound
the heart goes on beating, why
El tango
the music plays on
the dancers dance
a boy danced on the edge
of the precipice
and now sleeps on the bottom
of the sea
what was his name
the music plays on
the dancers dance
a woman waits
under the stars
the hem of her dress
flutters in the breeze
a phantom invisible
searching for the phantom
of a phantom embrace
the music plays on
the dancers dance
the old woman
too much paint
on her face
sits smiling, patient
under the stars
El tango, all knowing
of desire and
desire past
the music plays on
the dancers dance
El tango, eternal,
under the stars
