Motionless Dancer
May 8, 2009
Pirouette
Bare feet balanced on the blue line
Tattered skirt swirls
Ribbons spin around ankles
Delicate fingers sweep through the air
While I sketch her
She stands at attention, neat and dutiful
A perpetual frown on her face
But when I turn away
She dances
And finally allows herself to
Smile
