She dances alone
under the tree.
The bodies surround her
all shining with glee.
She twirls around in circles,
they follow her beat.
They watch her in wonder
and follow her feet.
She notices nothing
only the tree where she dances.
They continue to swarm her
and give her nervous glances.
Finally she sees them
but doesn’t say a word.
They come up and hug her
and she glances up at a bird.
She begins to sing
and the bird starts to fly.
They continue to hug her
as she begins to cry.
