Dancing In the Rain

Dreaming of Rockefeller Plaza
The lights, stilettos, and sequins
Musical battle of shoes against orchestra

Filling with hope of making it big
Dancing and humming through the streets

Clickity-clacking on cement
Tapping away, flaunting jazz hands
Big white smile incased in red

Sloshing and sliding through puddles of rain
Downpour falling unnoticed before
Until…

Her foot misses,
And she falls on her ankle
In a moment everything is shattered,
Her ankle, her dream.
