"CABECEO"

I lied in the bathtub
isolating body parts
big toe
elbow
knee
wrist
moving them just slightly one by one
once the water was still again


the water rippled off of my every move
I watched it dance around me
begging me to do it again
as it would calm
I would
big toe
elbow
knee
wrist

the symbiosis of our movement—
despite the contrast—
fed me much thought

the missing piece to my
tango orillero was now
complete
