fallen ballerina
she's a breathless pirouette
a tiny hurricane
storming the stage
thunderous applause
she sticks out her foot to curtsy
falls
face in hands weeping
the strings have snapped
the puppet collapsed
she's a fallen ballerina
practicing day and night
twirling swirling curling up the floor
with her pointed toes
she's forgotten
how to dance while
standing still
