Tango Poetry

Tango Moment
by Gibson Batch, Minneapolis MN

The simple steps are best.
The left and pause, then right again.
Just intention. Just attention
To details in our breathing,
To the texture of your shirt,
And perfume in the room.

Simplest is best.
Back, front, front, back
In perfect symmetry perfectly In
Each step, this very step.

I don't know you well at all
But I'msure I will recall
Your touch, your steps, your breath
When I am alone again;
When we are each alone again.
