Tango

I sway and weep
and I go deep
into forgiveness,

I tangle on
from dusk ’till dawn
trying to witness.

Each memory
invisibly
a bounding thread

I lonely
and foolishly
nourished and shed.

My head held high
I dance and sigh
in leaping strides

a butterfly
you also I
tango as tides.

 

Maria Magdalena
