SKATERS, by MARY HEILING
First Line: Silver flashes / across the ice in rhythm swinging
Last Line: Across the ice, raising silvered dust at turn of heel.

Silver flashes
Across the ice in rhythm swinging,
Silver flashes
Across the ice like tangents of a moon
That reach out to cup the laughter in the air
And leave a symphony in color there.
Silver flashes
Across the chiseled contour of the ice in ringing steel.
Silver flashes
Across the ice, raising silvered dust at turn of heel.
