Pavlova

a snowscape, blizzard

blown to meringue peaks 

out along the razor’s edge

horizon of the soul sucking cold

 

Pavlova twirling winds

la petite sauvage shivers 

dying swan with numb feet

in the ice snow- nothing grows

 

bared legs- light blue pale

light, grace on-point

tutu frosted like a skier’s beard

at the end of a hard-fought race

 

dark hair pinned properly in place

suspended temporarily atop 

a pent seething torrent

nature awaiting release

          

arms spread wing-wide

moonlight’s shooting spotlight

captures her shit eating grin

frozen in place
