Ballerina

Running 

down
Nathan Hahacham
Street
There was a dog
chatter and someone
else
and the Summer
also skipped

She bowed her head
wore tight ballet
dress
back exposed and
black
straps
thin
bell skirt
like this
in mid-week
slender-backed
and upright
she made me run
all the way
back

Be a ballerina
raise your leg
from down
to up on the
bar
facing the
dream-display
Be a ballerina
Make
Precise

Splits

Run down
Nathan Hahacham
Street
slender-backed
and upright
make me run
all the way
back
