Dance with me/Cactus
No. 1
dance with me
in the ballroom
of my mind
No. 2
cactus spikes
cowboy hats
and cliches
No. 3
dance with me,
the Sevillanos
with graceful arms
No. 4
cactus flowers
in multicolours
on window sills
No. 5
dance with me,
Flamenco's staccato steps
red dress's flounces
No. 6
cactus in the hot
sands of the desert
those camel hoof prints
