I always loved turning.
Because I was good at it.

after a pirouette combination,

Each one feeling encroached
upon by the other.

Deep down I wanted there
to be a way for her to work together

Our young paths were illuminated
by the glints of
sunlight slicing through the window.

This was a kingdom out of past,
lost to time,
and immaculately groomed

my own vision of a dance world
with integrity came into focus.
