Dancing
“How can we know the dancer from the dance?”
Do I dance better if you watch?
¿Cómo distinguir el baile de la bailarina?
¿Bailo mejor cuando me miras?
Comedy of manners about dance and a poem about dancing too. Hey, it’s Saturday!
I stole the first line from William Butler Yeats. I hardly know anything about his work, but that line is important if you are crazy enough to study Paul de Man, which I did not once but twice. This is an odd one in the collection, because I very rarely compose from the looked-at, seductive perspective. Whoever speaks in my love poems would rather be the voyeur, the seduced.
