Ballerina of Tears
Ballerina of Tears
Rippled lappings to her toes
Every years perturbation returns
To stand in deep verdant edges
Grass bank cups the legend
Of a lonely pool
Dark wisp ashen hair falls
To head bowed
She stands the Lilly naked
Shawl of her own travail
Tears incur
Soft pressed closed eyes
Remember
Each drop caught
Waves scend slowly one by one
Away from her
And in gentle water cascading
Her reflection silken
Dances
In fluidities dominion
Demi detourne, En croix, Entrechat, Soutenu en tournant
Hold her finale
Expressions of another year
In heart broken sorrow
Fails by its gravity ridden
To release her
