The Studio
Ballet bent my bones
to shape the perfect turnout,
leaping, crippled flight.

Kirkus Starred Review, Firstborn: "A fantasy that reads like a lost history tome and deftly examines issues of gender...An engrossing story with welcome depths."

beautiful.
Beautiful, and arresting. Well done!
Wow, you've said so much here. The word "crippled" was unexpected and sent me back to the beginning again. Really nice job!

Nicely done. This seems like it could be part of a larger haiku story-poem, or the opening to a short story. (It seems you could say quite a bit more!)
Goodness gracious, true.
Love crippled and perfect--about the same thing! And...ouch.
