La danza
Feet like FLINT,
Arms that FLAIL,
Head like a HAZEL
Nut, learning the RUMBA.
Flinty Finn MacCool
FLINTy Finn MacCool,
FLAILs his blistered hand, nurses wound, imbibes
HAZEL juice, is transformed, a Salomon among druids-stands out for wisdom like
RUMBA dancer at a minuet.

FLINT-faced determination etched in
HAZEL eyes blurred by tears as the
FLAIL falls while soldiers dance a mocking
RUMBA to the rhythm of his agony.

He’d hardly
BEGUN to grow when he found himself fully-

GROWN into a new regal robe. Plans were
SAFER when made and kept in the dark.
