DIVERTIMENTO NO. 15
George Balanchine
Crown
thoughts
breathing
wedge
mirror exit
dissolving line
corridor
bird heart
dynamo
switch stripe
photo margin
breathing blossom
full stop
crossed spot
asymptote
center
uneven curl dissolve
a rune of limbs
pale binary shift
mandala spin
binary vanish
trumpet telegraph
slash grace
patterer angle
another superimposition
stitched sway
a restless clock
on a wire
Mercury
at last symmetry
twirling ingot
roving delta
eye aperture
frame becomes film
shifting fourths
lonely tumbleweed
a closing door
in
concord
as though an echo of before
another door
another union
last to the sky
a sundial
a church
steeple tip
of motion
intrepid en face
the space between
center together
overhead clouds
dipping further into fantasy
among
asymmetry makes a center
a violin
entreaty
segregate
bright over
twinned quadrants
corridor returns
a margin
among them all
returns her
the shape at center
ever adjusting
an expanding court
within memory or
captivity
spinning into resolution
resolute pairs
the full force
