She's Not There

[Also one of my INO poems...]

The shoes laces tie
We enter the dark stage
Someone on stage yells
5, 6, 7, 8...
The curtain opens
Hundreds of feet
Start to move as one
The metal on our soles
Making a tapping noise
Against the stage floor
We all move together
As if we are one person
We are one big family

My sister and I look out
Into the audience
Everyone is there
All except
For our other sister
The memory of her
Forms a beautiful picture
In our minds

Tears start to fall
At my sister's feet
Sparkling like small stars
My heart starts to break
As the stars fall faster
Our feet grow stronger
And the sadness and fury
Melts into our physical painting

The pieces of my broken heart
Fall to the ground
As we continue our art
The pieces of my heart
Break
Beneath the souls of my taps.
