She'd make me dance the Ballatino
she'd spin a tapestry
in my chablis
ballet blanc
She'd pirouette
inside my head
velvet in her glass
blind tasting me,
tasting flight
I played the guitar
flamenco
she does the Alegrias
Adiago with me darling
meet me at the Cantina Sociale
or at the Chai -
dance the Baion
She'd Bambuca the night away
or was it the Beguine
she'd Bulerias but throw in a brise
just because she could
Sarabande with me love -
she'd do the Suzy-Q
We'd tango words
and tour en l'air with eau-de-vie
I'd triple tour and quadruple imbibe
and piquant her as she passed.
Take me from my cellar
decant my spirit from its dusty shell
free my arabesque
Élevé en fûts de chêne
Our ballet d'action
shook the table
our Cru Bourgeois falls and smashes
she laughs and battement a painting
right there on the floor
An imperial Morgan spins one last time
now fading fast as curfew falls
I toast an ice wine
“bon nuit”
no reply
I jig on our creation
my bare feet fandango
I stop ferme and first position
then fouette en tournant.
