Now Let's Say you are out in the suburbs in your little gated rooms and you're not even desperate. Let's say you're not so young you could leave whatever seemed safe for a fling, losing it all. Then the red shoes mania gets to you. Could be a love, ballet, it could even be a horse you fall wild for, decide you want your ashes scattered over her grave. In your head maybe you're Moira Shearer, flame red hair and the whitest skin, mystery skin. Maybe the red shoes are the color of what makes you lie, something you give up everything else for, let what matters collide, tear you to shreds. Are you going to let this drug, this hallucinogen slide through your fingers, settle, be earth or are you going to put on those damn red shoes, morph into a bird, some thing other worldly as the look in the dancer's eye when asked, "Do you want to live" answered, "I want to dance." The Oxford English Dictionary defines REPAIR: concourse or confluence of people at or in a place; resort, frequent or habitual going; making one's way; to arrive; to dwell; to heal, to cure, to recover; to renew; (AND!) to fix to original condition.

Red Shoes with him, I had on those red shoes, It wasn't ballet, it was his hard long body. It wasn't the script, the choreography, 3 years of e mail fore play. He could have been the part I yearned for, never thought I was good enough to have. Haven't you thought of a lover like a religion you could give more than you thought you had for, it's the way Lermotov, the ballet master, felt about ballet, some thing you shut out the rest of your live to make your life? Haven't you really wanted that mindless passion that posses you? Carries you out of the life like the dancer in red shoes, out of the theater into path, love wild and fast as an oncoming train? poetryrepairs.com seeks volunteer editors to expand poetryREpairs via "language specific" subdomains; for example: fr.poetryrepairs.us to create a network of truly 'Contemporary' and 'International' sites.
