Short Ballrooms Poems

Around inside within
Of footsteps therein
The ballrooms under
Of heaven's wonder
You hear the rhythm 
Dancin' wildly

Of angels raining softly 
In the winds of a hollow 
Gusty, reverberation echo...

The dragon dance of death,
Born in silent Wuhan
Round and round far it goes,

  to an era where Tik-Tok holds sway...
