It Takes One to Tango (Argentinian Style)
by @mariya-timkovsky
I breathed in fear and exhaled
magnetic force.
Our bodies were not yet ready
to touch.
I bent
my knees,
his did the same
And we dragged the tips
of our feet across
The wooden floor
so slow
so methodic
Like walking on water
Forward
Left Right
Back
Then a (hip) twist (but no shout)
Then he folded his hand around
Mine
Like holding a dove
And embraced me with
The other
And I felt
I could move
to his power
forever.
