Salsa

 

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
