	Lyrics II. Mambo Against a topaz sky and huge windows starry with delirious heartsease and sensual red cayenne; the sweet twilight breeze fragrant with almond and Indian orange; on the Moorish tiles, wearing their spike-heeled shoes, lowcut dresses and wide swirling skirts; their long obsidian hairdos in the style of the time; perfumed, olive-skinned, smiling, my aunt s danced the mambo and sang: “Doctor, tomorrow, you can’t pull my tooth even if I die of the pain.” Those evenings of my childhood when my aunts were young and belonged to me, and I danced hiding in their skirts, our lives were a happy mambo— I remember.
