Tango in
monochrome
He holds
out his hand.
She takes
the leap
Over the
image of herself
Reflected
in still water.
A Tango
in mid-air,
Black
skirts twisting,
White
silk blouse,
Low-heeled
shoes.
Twist
back. Black suit,
Dashing,
white shirt,
Skinny
tie, polished
Black boots.
Moving
life mirrored
In a
motionless puddle.
This black
pool of ink
Conjures
a painting
In movement,
Unchronicled
and past.
Monochrome
passions
Locked in
a moment,
Sealed on
pause.
But this
isn’t a trap.
The image
released
Becomes more
than it is.
Myriad
moments alive
In one photograph.
