The Temple Dancer

By Tony Brown

this is not
about sex

except in the larger
all-encompassing
grand scale of the fecund universe
sense

the one in which
fire
can be balanced on her head
while she dances

and the audience
stops wondering when the veils will fall
and drops their own

with every gasp
