un baile

un baile
beautiful people with painted faces
stared straight ahead
as they moved
to music
that broke the light
into pieces,
throbbed
in the floor

there was nothing outside
that smoky dance hall

packed tight among the hot
perfumed bodies
breathing the stale watery air
i held to you,

felt so alone
