Salsa
by Debbie Antis
Air is hot
Room is crowded
Smoke is thick
Music's started
Congas beat..
Steady sound
Dancers..
Sashay round
Hips
Flare
Men..
Stare
Rhythm pulses
Hypnotically
Ancient call
African melody
Sexuality
Uninhibited
Bodies
Exhibited
Ripe forms
Heat up the room
Trumpets escalate to a frenzy
Couples sway and swoon
Reaching crescendo
Then ends
Sweat beaded up in places
Rivulets in faces
Call de mi sangre..
Strong
Sings
To me in song
Salsa roots Por mi
Padre
Latin skin de
Mi madre
