Glimpses

Gallery glimpses
framing frozen seconds
in ballerina charade.

Leotard life
forms a hangman noose,
dangling from crystal chandelier
shining upon her opulent
display case cell.

Shudders from toxic masquerade
fractured the glassy veil.

Finally heading
out into the light
upon the stage
made of concrete and asphalt,
dancing for the first time
in moves not rehearsed,
steps as if in the sky
when done to a song
that you wrote yourself.
