Echoes fill the room
Plier (to bend), etendre (to stretch),
relever (to rise), sauter (to jump),
tourner (to turn), glisser (to glide),
and, elancer (to dart)
Graceful and, eloquently,
painting a picture,
melodic gestures through mid air
Perfect symmetries,
as our bodies entwine,
a gasp and, applause,
echoes and, fills the atmosphere
A mesmerising performance,
cheers and, claps curtains close
Ballerina shoes
