the ladies of the foam

prepare for the dance

their legs kicking

higher

as they stretch to the sky

the ladies of the foam

start the opening number

slowly

saving their energy for the coming of night

the ladies of the foam

piroutte across the stage

leaping and jumping with a sense of

emergency

knowing the sun is fast approaching

the ladies of the foam

finish their dance

they cease the leaps of flight

calmly

and go off to prepare for the next dance
