The Girl With the Blue Bow

I watched her as she danced her entire body ached with artistic beliefs and organised thoughts fractals of light shone through the bottom seam of the tutu as she looked down at her pointe-shoed feet she adjusted the edge of her tutu, the part attached to the leotard pulling it tighter before the next act a black choker ribbon tied around her neck kept her grounded and the long ribbon stayed to her back like a waterfall. Her muscled calves quivered with excitement of opening night a blue bow sat gently on her waist as she prepared for the first dance. -‘The Girl With The Blue Bow’ was inspired by Edgar Degas’ painting ‘The Dance Studio’
