CUMBIA

CUMBIA

Red                                                                                  
white
lace  
ribbons
colors
a candle
skirt hem
in hands
outstretched
to the stars
light
of bonfires
feet and hips
subtle moves
elegance
drums
maracas
flutes
a touch
of tropic
a slice
of rhythm
a shot
of rum
a pinch
of the sea
palm trees
a smile
pride
grace
ancestry
Native Indian
Criollo
& African

CUMBIA
