The Word Tango

The word Tango is delicious. 

Torrid and untamed, the yielding 
to feelings, and eating of flame. 

Full-grown arms and legs of lengths 
filling empty shadow space. 

Rooms of tight air, 
tigers pounce... pounce... pouncing    at the hip, 
breathing down rhythm and hot hopes. 

Feet
And jealous love, teasing
The oak wood floor.
