Dear Friends from tango list

I receive the notice of the death of a bandoneonist from the Strictly tango
group , an active member of the tango community of San Francisco.

Although I do not know personally the people of that local community, it is
always painful to receive this news , therefore my condolence for the
beloved ones ot his man.

I found this poem of Walt Whitman , a manuscript , later it has a change ,
but I will copy from the original version

Confession drops
------------------
Trickle, slow drops,
Candid, from me falling - drip,
bleeding drops,
From wound made to free
you whnece you were
prisoned ,
From y face - from my fore
head and lips,
From my breast - From within , where I
was concealed-
press forth, red drops,

Stain every page - stain every
song I sing , every word I
say, bloody drops,
Let them know your scarlet
heat - let them glisten,
Saturate them with yourself,
all ashamed and wet ,
Glow upon all I have written or
shal write, bloody drops,
Let it all be seen in your light,
blushing drops
