Brian Purcell #12 Poems from films - Black Swan





Black Swan



we are going
we are moving

the centre believes it has the answer
the knife at the centre of the dancer

it is moving

the engine surges
pistons clacking

the girl is still
at the centre of her world

the lights of the auditorium
grow intense

as she fingers the keys
of her cell

the piano plays
the dancer dances

despite the knife
at her centre

we sit in wonder
the engine surges

chairs move forward
the dancer drops to her knees

seeking the light
dropping the keys

fumbling in the darkness
we move ahead

the pistons clatter
the ballet on fire

the girl stares
from the centre of her world

the knife is covered
with sun
