Feathered flutes
And branchy oboes
Take their cues from the
Silent conductor
As bees tune their basses
To an anonymous score
For one spacious moment
As cloudy curtains part
An audience anticipates
The taking of the stage
Winds dance down
Vacant streets
In newspaper tutus
And aluminum slippers
A loose shutter somewhere
Enthusiastically applauds
The March ballet
