Flamenco

...................
Dim lights throw flickering shadows through the flamenco sodden smoke filled air
...................
Her hips swing flicking her blood red dress into shafts of come and get me contours
...................
He reacts, stamps his heels, elbows at the ready, prances in like a wild bull
...................
Clapping clapping clapping, eye to eye
...................
Silence
...................
then
...................
The chink of wine glasses, a smile and a secret kiss
...................
The bartender sweeps away the memory
...................
Ringing in his ears
...................

This is very good! It's a wonderfully impressionistic portrait of the flamenco dancers and the guy at the back of the bar who's seen it all.

What a vision! I love it--and the pauses add to the overall effect.
