Amidst the gliding silk and bodies

Translucent under glittering flames

Marble eyes watch them

Caught in the evading dream

Oblivious to the rustling of skirts

Constant pawing of satin gloves

Wary arms reach for

Tempted to join the party

Beyond the mocking of smiles

Ignorance of lying notes

Bright clothes stand out

Forgotten before being noticed

Blank in mind and heart

Separate with silent speech

Her wooden body remains frozen

Held in the arms of a child
