For Arletta She enters the stage The audience hushes Her da ncer’s body unfolds Becomes a song in motion Held by ancient threads Prolonged protection A ritual dance That flows as surely As the blood that ignites Her young body Carries oxygen to spark The internal fire Allows her smallness To cast a shadow that fills the building Then squeezes itself out into the darkness To merge with the night. This expanded largeness Visits her only in dance Folds itself into itself at other times An ordinary reflection of youth. But when music and movement hold hands The holy abounds As nourishing as manna As welcoming as an oasis To the solitary wanderer. Illia Thompson
