Molinete

when you will wear the shawl

which i have given you,

it won't be yards of silk 

minutely embroidered,

it won't be a garment

to keep away the cold,

might not even be an

instrument of power,

though the color charcoal

may have suggested that...

when you wear the shawl

which i have given you,

i will be dancing first

to your side and then front,

holding on to your arm

for balance and support,

giving you your dance space

so that you can flourish,

then you can draw in my

arms all around you.......

The molinete (in Tango) describes the grapevine

 steps that the women takes around the man as he

 is performing any variation of giro

this poem was written in March 2010, i believe
