Zapateado

Two Tied Triolets

1.
The ruffles and the fan drape memories
Dreamscapes lost in the navel of the moon
Tapping out spinning sunlit histories

The ruffles and the fan drape mysteries
Knighted horsemen's new world discoveries
Blood tied and heated red as cannas bloom

The ruffles and the fan drape melodies
Dreamscapes lost in the navel of the moon


2.
Then, Stomp and leave the Aztec masks on walls
When Spaniards tap lost heart-blood of their veins
Guitars strum Astilan while star fields fall

Then, Stomp and leave the Aztec masks on walls
Design Espagna woven into shawls
Children clap and chase trails of bordered trains

Then, Stomp and leave the Aztec masks on walls
While Spaniards tap lost heartbeats in their veins
