Loving Evita - a poem by Chris Zachariou

Two tango dancers in passionate motion, reflecting fluid identities in "Melancholy Poems” by the Cyprus Poet Chris Zachariou.

After dark, she finds sanctuary
in the house of the lame dancers.

Listening to melancholy songs
pressed between the pages of her
faded scrapbook, she recalls her
mother's kindness— mugunghwa
blossom on her pillow and rice
cakes for breakfast.
