ÉTOILE
-noun
1. a star or something shaped like a star.
2. prima ballerina.
She spins and turns
Flammable ballerina
So graceful in every stance
Of this intimate public drama
She spins and turns
Burnt by the lust of admirers
The heat in their eyes
Magma on their minds
She spins and turns
Slowly becoming étoile
Bright against the ballet night.
