Slow slips the hand
comfortably left
on the cleft between her
hip and her waist
fingers, placed
tantalisingly
deftly
lightly
pressing

Fast steps the foot
fleet, sure, clipped, touched
and pulled in close
breath slows
almost
caressed ear
hear
the rhythm heartbeat
so near

Wheel round – eloquently jarred:
hand found; clasped hard
heel ground, her leg, smooth
slides
down
his
inside
thigh

Staccato, striding: hips colliding
Tango embrace, her lips trace
teasingly across his face
pausing in taut grace:
hot
cold
touch
toe
to
toe
musical flow
of tense muscle
stretched sinew

Last grasp, last bold
thrust, whirl, and… hold
last bar, last chord
pressed body
near floored
held
hard
heaved
heaven-ward

Last tango
Last embrace
Last boleo
Last kiss.
