Jan 2011
The last pirouette.
In a crowd not standing out
doing up pumps ready for the fray
dancing like a swan on a lake
hearing applause making the day.
no more, just placid memories
blood percolates from ragged pumps
practice, practice, a childhood lost
the last pirouette, was it worth the cost.
(c)andypenman2011
Did this last night after seeing a painting of a ballerina painted by my friend Anke Wheeler
