echoes of Thailand
under the blue light,
flute humming softly-
grassland and waters
roll in her dancing,
fast but still graceful.
foot in a sleek point
skirt follows swiftly,
rises, a green tide,
out like a boatÕs sail,
over her head, arcs
down like a rainbow
;
on to the next step
so fast you only
faintly remember
once understanding
(though you were certain)
if it was magic.
