Into the arena
Their starving eyes await
Prepared for your recital
As if you were their prey

Bottomless breaths
You focus ahead
Two hands, six feet
A commanding duo

Movements like a swan
Strong yet vulnerable
Demanding power
But eager for compassion

Goosebumps cover your skin
Beads of sweat on his brow
Pristine, polished, practiced perfection
A mesmerising performance
