![]() Susana has serpents inside her that she soothes barely commands through her bandoneón painted with flowers from black fields that glimmer and dance in falling laughter. A fairy, a mistaken fairy Susana has serpents inside her that writhe and roll through her arms and legs and face and shoulders and feet of willow. Susana seeks the melodies that her hissing entrails demand, and she, attentive, provides them so the serpents do not drown her provides them so the serpents save her celebrate her and the bandoneón the song, the sigh, the dance of her and of them accompany Susana from the silence to the night possessed, twisting the serpents and the darkness entire in everyone until they resonate in colors, banners, and memory. |
