Nijinsky

The dive could come who was its fledgling first
 
Of wings that feathered ankles and stood up
 
And leapt and wide in the deep air immersed
 
The body that came down as soul went up
 
And taught the throat the foremost wind: and back
 
The living blood curved in the fluid hand
 
Whose fingers paused, and poised: the deadened slack
 
Was time’s who stopped to see a dancer stand
 
Where sky was. . . There was God, where man was not
 
And heat in the heaving heart that moved alone
 
And left like a lover the still, praying spot
 
To surge where there were only air and bone
 
But once, as a a mere odor comes and goes,
 
Dream: and the great anthropomorphic rose.
