If, She

If her body was a voice it would sing
Sliding slick words
Into vocal chords,
Clarion call.
A cry cracking glass
Relevé
Relevé
Relevé
If her body was a maypole it would unspool
Clinging wet tendrils
Escaped from metal pins
Ribbon wind.
A light blur whirl
Pirouette
Pirouette
Pirouette
If her body was a birch it would arabesque
Sheathing satin silhouette
Exposed in night
Dark glow.
A grounded stake.
