CARIBBEAN DANCING

 Drums and millet flutes rule
the damp iodized evening spent

beneath palm trees & thatched awnings


Hips in sync with the murmur

of contagious hypnotic tunes     

turning quickly thunderous


Bodies coming together

in a frenzy of sensual jolts

tight sinuous embraces


Pairs of thighs merge indistinguishable

chests inseparable shoeless feet entangled

one candescent respiration & slippery perspiration


One mass of swim shorts and suits

One blend of fabric colors blues yellows

becoming greens over oscillating flesh
           

& when dawn begins to blink

            & the roosters awake in the distance

& the drums & the songs of flutes fade 
 

some depart

                 still strangers

others do not
