Linda Rogers, Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA

These are human stories,

the food chain, so we try

not to remember Gargantua,

or swans wiping their tail

feathers in bullrushes where

Moses was hidden, making

his holy law, Thou shalt not kill.

Pavlova had red beads, drops of blood

sewn in her swan costume, but in fact

the original story was strangulation,

a woman crushed in a brutal hand.

No wonder she danced on her toes,

fear raising her up her the way we

lift a frightened chid out of panic,

her dress also making the rustling

sound of notes played one at a time,

footsteps on the mandolin,

running from death with

beautiful port de bras, but

none as heartbreaking as

the ballerino, man in a dress

screaming, “I can’t breathe!”

just as the music ends.

LINDA ROGERS
