An actress /dancer?A Poem by Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph MangonoTrying to understand a person is hard...:-)
Audience is silenced By how she swerves her body And she does it without violence As she moves from corner to corner With both pride and dignity Respectively pausing diplomatically Speaking softly as it should be Something not hard to see But is she an actress? Is she really an actress?
Audience clapping here and then Watching as she stands on her toes Then as she is joined by her dream She starts spinning Going round and round Smiling in all directions An acrobat by nature Definitely someone mature But is she a dancer Is she really a dancer?
Friends call her naïve Enemies call her beautiful Easily frightened by a whisper But stable to pain Now that it pours: Does she act in the rain? Does she dance in the rain? Does she pretend in the rain? Does she love in the rain? Oh mind stop asking....Just clap for the grand performance. © 2013 Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph Mangono |
