Isadora Duncan tánca

Mint a szobrok, a szobrok. Napfényes, hosszú mozdulatok.
Alig volt mosolya. De ha volt, az nagyon.
A rítus szépsége tört át a ritmuson.

Csak forgott és forgott és forgott.
Könnyedén siklott. Lobogott.
Szavának súlya volt. De szólni nem tudott.

Forgott a kígyóbűvölő és forgott a sál,
forgott a félkör, a tengerpart és forgott a lány,
külön a táncosnő és külön a tánc...
