Meandering Bliss
October 22, 2017
Swinging
back and forth
thoughts
and
songs
on repeat
my first ballet
toehead in a tutu
touching the top
of my head
with my toes
Sapphire needle dreams
pirouetting
331⁄3 rpm
around my penché perfect six year old world
My lifelong friends
Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Bach
keep me
good company
We met once
in Paris
for a clandestine
rehearsal
my breath halted
my heart
flic-flacs
in time with
the rosin dusted
pointe
of view
In my other life
my six foot self
stood en pointe
at center stage
performing
a pas de deux
with one who would
support me
lift me
catch me
This life
is about
box seats
and bubbles
and
Parlor pas de bourrée couru
I am at best
a living room ballerina
