Fandancer
under the spotlight she pirouettes
glistening while the crowd forgets
listening as she creates a storm
watching the beautiful dancer perform
hypnotic rhythms, the pulsing beat
as music invades the smoke-filled heat
her silken fans like butterflies
swoop and flutter before their eyes
applause! applause! whistles and cheers
help to overcome her fears
in the dressing room she lowers a fan
looks in the mirror
sees the man
