Bold and arrogant, the steel lion steps towards her, his chest puffed and stride strong.
Cowardly and meek, the glass swan moves around him, head bowed and movements soft.
And while they reach for each other, the circling of their steps keeps them just beyond each other’s fingertips.
“Extinguish fear!” He barks as he moves closer.
“Demolish aggression…” She sobs as she twists around him.
His fingertips lightly brush her chin before once again she is just out of reach.
“Listen to me.” He growls as he reaches for her wrist-
“Understand me.” She whispers as she pirouettes away.
And so they circle again.
The glass swan trembles at the thought of her fragile pieces shattered across the floor.
The steel lion roars at the swan’s constant evasive steps.
The ground trembles, and they circle once again.
“I just want-“ he says
“-to dance with you.” She finishes.
And yet, they circle again.
