¿Sabes bailar casino?

he asked

and si

of course I do

or did before the stage lights dimmed

for all of us

around the world

but sabes sus palabras

no son dulces como

when you said 

sé cómo te encanta 

salsa en el calor 

de las noches de verano

when there was still a platform

for you to say

such things

to fools

so tell me what’s to do

with parasites 

who feed on light

but hide myself inside the dark

to not acquire the taste 

for bastante bonitos caníbales

to not become

depredador

si, there is advantage

that comes with elevation

if you forget the weakness 

of the platform

in relation 

to the height 

and just how far

it has been raised

but solo quiero salsa

somewhere deep inside the truth

con mis pies

against the earth

and en la noche

with a little of your light

cerca de mi corazón
