Mexicalle Daffodil

The dancing had begun, the fiesta's frenzy
Had started the day before Cinco de Mayo
As the drums vibrated rhythms of madness
I called for a pasodoble, stomping my feet
The band blared out their brass and guitars
I bought Ernest H. a drink as the sun rose
He left to continue his story down near the beach.

Downing a tequila shot with my huevos rancheros
I sat in a dark corner staring at the tiles on the floor.
She sat there with her long black hair, red lips and smiled
I reached for her hand and placed the black pearl there
Then with whisper, I ask her to meet me tonight in the orchard.
I would help her escape from her tortured life
We had one more dance, this one a waltz, it was magnificant!
As I whirled her around, Jose fired a shot through her head.
Each Spring I visit her grave making sure the daffodils are still blooming.

Yikes.............talk about the last dance..........

it was a ploy, She had put blanks in Jose's gun the night before. I put her on my boat, faked her funeral then we went to the Caymen Islands, I opened a bank and she gave dance lessons to the tourists.

Fiction, right? ;)

Is this by any chance a frenzied ode to the Olympic athlete who died?

Thanks for sharing with The Surreal Circus.

subconsciously I think it was as well as picking up vibrations from "JustMe" about dancing and the fact that we all pick up various waves of thought from others(see her chaos theory) thank you Ann for the comment, always enlightening
