Tango Lamentations: The Almost-Haiku Collection

Kamran Tavakoli

A back step in the rain
the music makes me go crazy
I nailed the same guy again

* * *

This is tango for you
Learn for six months or so
And you can teach too

* * *

Milonga after milonga I miss
I sit at home and wonder why
I realize the music has me dis’d

* * *

Nuevo tango is hard
That’s not the real tango anyway
Let’s dance milonguero in the yard
