"Paying Homage"...

" Paying Homage "

Paying homage
to upstarts
self-consciously
illuminated
by alarmed glazed
and jubilant gazes

ranging in octaves
as shatterings of grace
yet in fine shape
whatever it takes
beautifully shaped
engaging snow maidens

familial assimilation
as vernal revelations
in fiery debates
dancing as manifestations

overseen as loosely based
high stakes cross-legged
recent phases twanging
of fame while stepping on stage...
