my friend and i

thrill to quadrille

in beginning scene

of Tchaikovsky’s

beloved Nutcracker

when professional

ballet company

dazzles our rural

community and

invites local youth

to dance dreams staged

as mice and soldiers,

angels, snowflakes,

candy canes or

polichinelles…

and we have tickets!!

    I like that pert “to dance dreams,” a definite action
