Barre

A pointed foot remembers,
brushing through the floor,
tendu, degaje, privately
holding the connection
until distance and the reach
take toe to air. Alone, it is
slow, the living line straight
to the hip, vibrating with
blood and concentration.
A million times or more, muscle,
bone and tendons warm,
another yawn, another dawn,
the quiet rituals of rhythm.
