She whirls in the darkness

in a dance of heart-stopping

grace,

her every lithesome move

the definition

of movement itself.

Her leaps and pirouettes

would stun the Kirov's

stars, but none will

ever sit in jealous awe

as she performs.

Her theatre is closed to all

and she would sooner

burn it down

than let a coarse and barbarous world

be blessed by her tender power.
