The Dream

Danseuse ajustant sa bretelle, 1895-96, Edgar Degas

He dreamt her
in black and white.

Feathers float
softer
as the light strikes.

Sullen, 
he lurks in the dark.

Await.

Yearning to capture
the essence
of her soul.

Undaunted,
she 
caracoles.

Luminous
only 
for 
herself.


A poem created for 

Thank you Tess, for another wonderful visual inspiration.
