Upon the frozen floor
a prima ballerina
stretches, in
slippers crystal lace,

her trim of crimson
unravelling, dances off
on journeys past,

as the coming
of the solstice
brings the number's
interchange,

on toes they tip
beneath, the
winter's icey stage,

and rehearse for
spring's recital,
come one late
march matinee

stage lights
have hands
when your skin is cold
and they are warm

Perfect!!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Stunningly beautiful, dear Michelle. I think you know how hard the work towards the perfection of a performance really is.
It would be great as a didascalia to Degas' paintings.

Love and hugs.
