The Nutcracker on ice













1st: Russia 1892
from the heart of the stage, to you
The tale of love
gentle, fragile, lunge
warm yet
cold as the ice-rink
and cuts like the blades
and swirls like the falling snow
costumes to delight in tow
fastest twirls, arabesque, ecstatic.
Christmas time, baubles and figureskating-mice
ballet at its most graceful
the Nutcracker on ice
