Shadows Play with the Light (en español abajo)
At times
the eternal dance
crystalizes
The fiction
of our divisions
shatters
The union
of equal halves
ensues
The fear
of bright or dark
vanishes
We unify
our social orbits
transformed
The belief
in our humanity
rebirthed
Our households
separate no more
interchangeable.

Gracias for reading Fake Flamenco! ¡Olé! –Rebecca
Las sombras juegan con la luz
A veces
el baile eterno
se cristaliza
La ficción
de nuestras divisiones
se quebra
Una unión
de opuestos iguales
comienza
El miedo
de la luz y de la sombra
desaparece
Se unen
nuestras órbitas sociales
transformadas
La creencia
en nuestra humanidad
renace
Nuestros hogares
inseparables e
intercambiables son.

Stay safe over there! It’s all getting a bit hairy, isn’t it? 🙂 🙂 I was trying to think what those shapes reminded me of. Sugar mice doesn’t seem a very good guess, does it?

Thanks for commenting. Interesting, what are sugar mice? Reveal: This is a photo of the light seeping through the top of our curtains, after passing through the slightly rippled 100 year old window panes in our bedroom. Thanks for guessing. : )

Thank you very much, Neri. The poem began to stream into my mind Friday morning and I repeated the first few phrases to myself aloud and grabbed a pen. Grateful when the quetzal bird muse is present.
