That forgotten ballet dancer who said
That marionettes were his master teachers
That only grace can defy gravity
And will like a column of electricity
Down the center of the body
Become the sword he danced with
Evading the blade from side to side
First they showed him the dance of aloneness
How to swirl into stillness
And fall down on the grass and laugh
How to escape being caught in himself
Until he was ready one day he said
To dance the water dance
The air dance and the dance of fire
Until they would all consume him
