Swan Lake and Mars

Swan Lake and Mars


I saw the old ballet dancer 
deep in her Alzheimer's illness
when they played Tarkovsky
swan dance
she moved her hands and body
her movement was beautiful
I say to you
You want to go to Mars
If you do not take the human
art along 
your life will be void of meaning
