[bodytext] => Fiesta, with its strong Latin American links Is the colour of flanquette Changing the angle of entry into the vagina. It is the colour of impulse. Yet strangely enough It is also the colour of the exaggerated moral sense of peccatophobia The morbid fear of committing sin And a tendency to see evil where there is no evil. Leading in extreme form to sexual inhibitions. Fiesta can suffer this way For it is a psychic energy That needs to be discharged or sublimated Into culturally higher activity. Yet the persona of Fiesta’s socialised behaviour never holds strong For it is a colour that is forced to act out its primary urges And basic, primitive emotions Be they zealous patriotism Chronic violations of customs Intense self-destructive impulses Martyrdom Addictions Or just a craze for dancing. Fiesta is the colour of the hillbilly and the sacred cow Both, for different reasons, exempt from criticism Fiesta is the colour of the transient Searching for work or a place to live Yet it can also be the upper crust colour Of silk-stockinged high society. It is the colour of the baby boomers The trendsetters The beautiful people. And the literati. Fiesta is a contradiction in terms For it is the colour of self-reproach Of negative self-perception And of fixation on the disturbing ideas Of the Electra or Oedipus complex. Fiesta is confused.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
