The Fugitive

Iron bars bent open begins the show
A black and white striped bonanza
A ballet of bravado under midnight skies

The bashful dancer eschews an eager audience
A plethora of prances covers an endless stage
His legs lilt inside a labyrinth of forgotten leisure

And no matter the truth of his turbulent persona
Tireless desires to dance and devour deliverance
Is what drives him from the spotlights in the dark
