ballet
I close my eyes
shut them tight
through the night
hearing my breath
in a pattern
I should know
but I don't
I guess I forgot
hearing the foggy air come out
unsteady, it builds up
I can't hold it any longer
my breath all at one time
breathing steady once again
being able to put one foot down, then the other, then none
dancing and playing across the empty stage
for many others to laugh and parade
gracefully, blissfully here I go
making my way to my dreams
clasping my hand in theirs
leaping along with them
this ballroom dance into a jump
keeping along with them
this stall I fit in
here are my people
for ballet.
