Tango is
no mambo on two,
or frantic frenzy
of a salsa night.
Tango is
no thrill of ecstatic feet,
sightly set of figures
or deaf show of skills.
Tango is
the closeness,
the embrace,
the symphony of two bodies.
Tango is raw,
clumsy,
too eager
and too impatient
to be taught in schools,
to be danced on stages.
Tango is
everything but a dance.
