Ballistic Ballet

At the extreme north, the voyagers are obliged to dance and act plays for employment. - Thoreau

She reeled around in a prophylactic pirouette.

Tip toed and tongue tied.

Passing on his apocalyptic apology.

Forgiveness can be a sour lemon squeeze.

No sugar plums but bitter grapes.

An epic traipse.

Foretold by mold.

Truth be told.

Adieu and au revoir.

Better to apply a tainted tourniquet than bleed a leeching scar.

Emotions gone wryly astray.

Dancing out in a ...

... ballistic ballet ...
