verreaux's sifakas do dance
sifakas dancing
lemurs cross a clearing
they pause
for ballroom dancing
sooty faces, topaz eyes
pennon tails flying
a courtly minuet
to Tananarive tomtoms
those jungle rhythms
pardon my French
mincing steps and Fred Astair leaps
Baryshnikov green with envy
powdered periwigs
tree trunk columns
canopy ceiling shot with sky
wedgewood blue or teaclipper china
sifakas dancing
