Reflections bend
Hope suspend
Friendship collides
Crosses a divide
Whitewashed illusions
Create confusion
An ancient beat plays
Two-stepping through a maze
A wordless ballet
The masquerade moves and sways
Dagger hung
Waits to be sprung
Requiem's dirge
Lines merge
Unveiled beauty stains
Doubt chains
Mirrors obscure
Pull and push
Bodies sway
Court's prey
Masks unveiled
