Swan Lake
These are
dangerous times
as the music gets louder
and your gigantic
oŕbit of heaviness
swings further from mine.
Something changed.
I can feel it
in the cold of night
and the thirst.
I had to have a swan.
Women of the court were just not
supernatural enough. It had to be
one who became human
only at midnight.
And we dance,
not just do acrobatic tricks.
we really dance, tilting and whirling.
It's in our hearts,
The gladness of the art
allows enchantment.
But reaching too far
is what killed me.
