MUSICAL MOVEMENT

Motion precise orchestrated to a score

coordinated, the rise and fall of the bow

plucked strings

resonating this hall

of five score seats and double the feet

A wave flows from the bamboo

seducing wind that caresses the pinna

Induces emergence of the scaly God

All eyes paused

on the sinewy form

Percussion aggressive and urgent

while the dance becomes an energetic trance

All eyes now on hands and feet

Grace stumped by convolution

twisted limbs defying flexibility

emulating the seven expressions

of the ancient Hydra

supple movement, compliant

to the lyrical genius of Pambatti Siddhar

A captive audience

swayed into hushed awe

by the debutante's small strides

into the future of musical movement
