Tiny ballerinas line
up behind the curtains
Like goldfish in a
glass bowl
Taking a peek to the
world outside
Wondering who's out
there –
The curtains swing up
–
Their little porcelain
hearts pounding like crazy
Music triggers their
waves, luminous bending,
Their milky white
hands move so softly
Like breeze over the
rye fields –
Amazed they turn, they
swing,
Driven by a strange
force,
As if they were
puppets on a string.
The dance unfolds its
secret patterns
The tiny dancers see
and feel and follow –
The sound waves enter
their bodies
Transforming them into
movement and light.
