Odette and Odile

Odette

Serene, pacific music
conducting the
benevolent strides of
the woman in ivory.
Swathed in a silk dupion
and gold pearlescent appliqué,
the embellishment of the night.

Placid celestiality,
Odette shimmers in a tender luster
under the beguilement of classical
music compositions.

Subtle yet robust,
her feet fondles
the earth
in diminutive
motions.

Pure.
Odette propels into the sky,
in the heavy arms of her male consociate,
skirt rippling with intense fluctuation.

The light dims.

Odile

Fluid symphony,
hastens a vivacious beat,
with turbulent drops in
melody.
The music cacophonous,
Odette vanishes,
leaving the stage
besieged in the dusk of
Odile.
