who paved the road

i once knew a man
who only danced on pavements

we learned how to tango
in this country
even when we could not
stay upright
because our feet
are a patchwork

our heels are a heartbreak
its cracks a phantom continent
a relic home
for us
barefoot dancers
forced to twirl on asphalt
with drills and cranes
