borrowed from the world
-for carey
Melissa Kolmar

She walks like a dancer

On a marionette

And the wire glisten

Golden and silver flashes

In the floodlights…

He watches her grace

Despite the dancer’s strings

And pulls her down

Off the stage…

Takes her to a cloud

To dance to a lover’s song.

Her body makes a lovely canvas

When the moon rises

And he cuts the strings

To leave only her-

His golden dancer.
