Star Crashing
August 23, 2013
Thousand upon thousand of tiny dancers twinkle
Before my eyes
Their great grace stealing
The show from the main dancer, the brightest but two weeks ago.
I stare at them, enchanted, watching them
Twirl and spin and grow and shrink
Pirouetting faster and faster until finally
I crash
Now the spotlight is on me, beckoning me towards it
I try to stand, but my feet are bound
By iron stares
But I rise
I gallop awkwardly, fumbling
Over my stumbling feet,
Reaching for the light,
Grabbing a ghost.
