uproar

an urban ballet

women in costumes dancing on a street

riot of color
synchronized in one
collective act of protest
on stone steps of a locked
administration building
on a Saturday afternoon
wide-armed skirts open
petals as they spin
joy from low-hanging
smog of simmering
fear

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
