Mask

FLING your red scarf faster and faster, dancer.
It is summer and the sun loves a million green leaves,
    masses of green.
Your red scarf flashes across them calling and a-calling.
The silk and flare of it is a great soprano leading a
    chorus
Carried along in a rouse of voices reaching for the heart
    of the world.
Your toes are singing to meet the song of your arms:
 
Let the red scarf go swifter.
Summer and the sun command you.
