in the shoes of this other
echoes of two little girls
music is heard in the stitching
wound round the ankles
tiny feet twirling the body around
hands telling their story
tulle sewn at the waist
hair pulled back and tied
bright lights follow them
parental hearts full to the brim
their eyes watching them live
a brother's hands saying yoo-hoo!
the audience clap and cheer
the little ballerinas search
for the eyes they can hear
