White Dancer

Birches shone white on a point of land
  in a lake in north
Minnesota.
The moon came with a shine of white added
  where the birches shone on a point of land
  far in the north in
Minnesota
.
The winter snow came adding a shine of white
   to the birches and the moon.
The ghost of a blond woman came dancing in a white
  sheet in the birches, the moon, the winter snow.
A line of red on her mouth, a circle of red at her
  hair, two spots of red at her ankles,
The ghost of a blond woman came dancing among birch
  moon snows of winter white in Minnesota far
  north in Minnesota.
