Flamenco – poem by Gabriela Marie Milton

I want to burn inside the rhythms of the flamenco,
flame in the dancersโ€™ passion in the streets of old Cรณrdoba
I want to entertain rich masters for a piece of bread
inside the silent cries of those who are misunderstood
I want the desperation of the dancers dressed in red.
