The seventh day

Fred:
eyes that see the world
dance, feet that know the rhythm
of the heavenly spheres

Ginger:
grace, and lines to match
the master; humour and skill
in perfect balance

Cyd:
sex, poise, supreme skill,
never just a partner, but
a star who partners

Gene:
not for me, but hard
to ignore his peerless power,
masculine strength

John:
when dance in film seems
dead, a child of rock and roll
thrusts back the fever

Billy:
an electric film
breaks open a world for those
immune to tutus

Darcy:
bravely recreates
the golden age — heroic
failure; apt tribute
