PRESTO AGITATO by SYLVIA ELDRIDGE

First Line: YOUR EYES-TWO LUMINOUS BEADS
Last Line: OF A BACCHANALIAN DANCE!
Subject(s): DANCING & DANCERS;
Your eyes—two luminous beads—
flash blazingly
in your triumphant poise,—
and with the flamboyant grace
of a slender eagle
you dart off
in abandon,
flapping and diffusing
the giddy swell
of a Bacchanalian dance!
