The Ice Skater

(Dedicated to Alexei Urmanov)


You are beautiful.


I can only watch breathlessly
As you trace the music upon the ice.

You are untouchable.
We are separated by a pane of glass
Divided by oceans;
Connected by a thin line,
I am unseen;
Just as a single admirer
Is imperceptible
Against the blur of the crowd.


You are beautiful.


You stand upon a cold, unforgiving stage.
The eyes are upon you.
The eyes are upon you .

Take your bows.
Thrive upon the nameless cries of the audience,
Roses scattered at your feet;
Tokens of admiration,
Praise in a solid form.

As you take your final bow,
I cast my words upon your feet.
