Isadora Duncan

She was a flame sheath of flesh made for dancing.
 
She believed she ran out into storm, rain, sun, and
 
became part of them and they were afterward woven
 
in her dances.
 
 
“The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon?
 
I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-
 
flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am.
 
“Sin, prayer, faith, the light that never was on land
 
or sea? I dance what I am.”
 
 
Roses, lovers, money, children, came to her in her
 
life dance from California to Russia.
 
When her dancing days were not yet over but almost
 
come to an end, she died in a swift ride with a flame-red
 
scarf enwrapping her neck tighter and tighter. . . .
