they will not lower the bar.
instead, it's bolted to the wall.
twisted limbs unfold until they snap.
hair pulled back and posture straight
(as it can get)
I shift my weight from leg to leg.
I cannot lean, the bar will break.
grace can squeeze in nylon tights,
poise will fill expensive seats.
I'm just a silhouette to a pirouetting beast.
I can twist and turn while I'm asleep,
but I'll always fumble on my feet.
stifled laughs beneath piano keys.
and although I practice every night,
the positions never feel quite right
and my shoes are tight
and my legs are sore
and the costumes never fit.
right or left I'll never know
where my stumbling feet should go.
still, I'll break my bones and I'll lose my breath
doing everything that I detest for you.
grace can squeeze in nylon tights,
poise will fill expensive seats.
I'm just a silhouette to a pirouetting beast.
grace can squeeze in nylon tights,
poise will fill expensive seats.
I'm just a cutaway from a plié-ing,
I'm just a background to a battement-ing,
I'm just a silhouette to a pirouetting beast.
