a child's ballet

a childs’ ballet

she pirouetted

across

the room

like

angel dust

flowing

from heaven

unnerved

by the rising water

her forced smile

belied by tears

hands reaching

toward heaven

sending spirit

to God

fulfilling a promise

to dance

and not despair

after Katrina

whisked grandmother

away
