Ballet Teacher

You make the twist and curdle of muscle look sweet

Hoods of flesh clench

Lines extending towards congratulating champagne toasts

Liquid turned taught

Floating like a pair of scissors

Most subtle razor to ever caress

The tissue paper lips of the floor

You wrap your heady-spice palms

Flourishing and dripping

Every pulse a dropped memory

They whisper of inspiration and dust

Licks of silver swim through you

Eyes misty rocks where dreams go to impale their masters

Commanding the lovely, forming it to fit

Frost spangles the trees that create pillars of tendon

The ease of sandpaper on granite

You make silken

Simple.
