A slice of black.

Cuba, Tropicana, nightclub

A little bit of Vegas

a little Disney

but in your head a lot of Desi.

Rum to help you ruminate.

Bongos and Babalu.

Swirls of colors, costumes, neon,

showgirls, singers, dancers- against the black of the tropical night.

Cuba-ballet school

A sunlit streak

across the floor-

a spotlight

for the dancers

who stretch,

warm up,

gear up

in silence

together.
