A Night in Alhambra
Like Greek marble
We dance salsa with Praxitelean swagger,
stiffly, white with novice.
Among Morish mosaics
and a sea lively of brass, skin, and lust,
we are one of the bunch;
the same way
we are the center of our universe
as we clumsily step on our feet
off key, beautifully
against the canon
of the Latin ballroom.
Zephyr Dancing with Flora
Giovanni Maria Benzoni, 1870
