Free Verse from Tango

 

Harem Tango

 

Does it matter that
his arms hold the
DNA of 20 others?
The bump and grind
tango, the without
arms, not out of the
body but in the body
high. You won't
have his heart, only
his torso. Isn't it
enough. Like a
primal tribal ritual,
the heart of pumping
blood. Fantasize any
of this matters and
it won't be long
before you're a drunk
or on anti-depressants,
Think of him as
a gigolo: he's better
at that than tango
