Salsa Dancers and Seagulls Poem by Reynaldo Casison

If we were Salsa dancers,
We would dance,
Through Midnights in a daze,
In our own carefree way,
We would wear exotic gowns,
Upon our svelte bodies,
That Shimmered like tambourines,
In the Dazed,
and carefree crowds eyes,
They would sigh,
And kiss our hems,
With bouquets of sweet irises,
Love like jazz would abound,
As our warm rhythms unwound,
But we're not Salsa dancers,
We're just seagulls,
upon the shore,
with the Moonkissed seashells,
Our wings kiss the Moon,
As the Salsa dancers hem,
Sigh with enrapturing rhythms
