Tango

She strips the strings of the violin. With no sorrow. With no fear. A hand that can’t melt
each sound, each man. That attracts and moves away with a single note. A desire that grows above herself. A tear, a smile, an eye, a glove and an old shoe. Loneliness in all objects. The closed window and just a dream of a love in her mind. And they dance …because the bandoneón still screams outside in the rain of Montevideo.
