¿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
