Dance (In the Garden of La Petenera)

In the night of the garden,
six gypsy girls
dressed in white
are dancing.

In the night of the garden,
crowned
with paper roses
and twisted roots.

In the night of the garden,
their teeth of pearl
inscribe the charred
shadows.

And in the night of the garden,
their shadows stretch,
reaching clear to the
plum-dark sky.
