Dancer
Leg warmers flop and fold
Embracing tender ankles
Adored by suitors
Ready to heal with bouquets
And accolades.
Balanced, extended,
Moving off air,
Like flowers, forever stretching
Kicking up relevé
Like the aromatic main floor of
An old department store
at Christmas.
Their limbs like flowers,
Forever fragrant.
