Three stages of a girls life, and the fourth stage that sets her free, all in one thought.
Ballet shoes leave the floor

landing restlessly

eager to be in the air again

afraid to go too high



    Stilettos crack on concrete

    marching towards nothing

    thrashing running away

    pretend with a turn of the heel



          Bare feet thundering

          water splashes rays reflecting in silver drops

          place heels firmly on the ground

          breathe float dream



tightly pulled back hair

chin up big smile lights bare down

curtains drop first glittering teardrop

invisible as shadows take over



    platinum hair frames a face

    make up sultry pout

    hides half moons under a set of eyes

    teeth cuts through the inside of a hollow cheek



        dark blond hair curling in a mass

        absently braided over one shoulder

        ink splattered hand catches the wind

        sunlight spills through fast moving trees



green eyes look up into a stone faced crowd

lids drop back to the resin floor

arms in an effortless arabesque

palms clammy knees shaking



one word raging above the crowd

            Perfection

                        Perfection

                                    Perfection



    brown eyes stare into laser lights

    the world becomes a smoke filled drunken haze

    shoulders back, hips swinging, a fearless smile to a stranger

    the room goes dark head bends skywards



a frown as lips touch, one word echoing in a heartbeat

            Loneliness

                        Loneliness

                                    Loneliness



          hazel eyes scan a dim bar

          cherry cigar between fingers

          a nod a smile a shared story a new friend

          trains buses hello goodbye



horizons come closer and disappear again, a single word smashing against a heart

            Search

                        Search

                                    Search



a spotlight snaps off a curtain falls down

    a strobe light slows the world to one painful breath

          a word slips of a page as a cigar burns a hole in it.



              A hand smashes glass

              scarlet drops melting into creased skin

              a scream slices through lungs

              another crack forms



              turn around around faster, faster

              breath burning shoulders shaking

              another scream explodes more cracks form

              shards snow down around bare feet



              trapped in a glass dome

              within a glass dome

              within a glass dome



a shatter

    a vacuum

          a shock

              a heartbeat



              glass crumble to the floor

              no fear no hurt

              no past no future

              only now today minute by minute



one word echoing as the wind grabs it

            Freedom

                        Freedom

                                    Freedom
