The Muses Tango...

.





20 August, 2010


"He walked in.

Tired.

Hot.

One tequilla sitting in the dark.

Blinds drawn against the white hot.

The fan on the ceiling slowing to a drone.

They didn't have to touch each other to know.

You could feel the heat.

The Muses tango.




Like good sex.

They walked to the beach without a word.

Then into the Gulf.

Drunk on tequilla and the heat.

Back and forth in the salt water.

They drank each other in.

The muses tango.



After a month on the boat, his feet on dry land made him dance.

Sway in a tango with the Earth.

And sway they did.

Under the fan - in the heat.

On sheets wet with his sweat and salt water.

Back and forth

They wrote.

The Muses' tango."
