Colombine bares her neck and
Flares her dark blue skirt. The
Pink and white undercarriage
Shows as she balances on one
Slender ankle, her breasts and
Arms pale flashes in the murk.
Her teeth show in her magenta
Lips. Pierrot stands at her side,
A bulk of blue and grey, black
Buttons and black sailor's brim.
His eyes hold some secret, and
His hand is raised in a gesture
Of caution. His mouth a petal,
A cherry phare in darkness of
The wings. Gathering shapes
Fill the gulf behind them. She
Speaks to him : no response.
Around them, the lights dim.
