Dancing Blind ~Norma Farber Lovers with twenty - twenty vision never know the dance of the purblind who learns by heart her space, eighth-inch at a time; who binds in the ribbons of toe- shoes a hard cane-sense to ward off hazards, to tap that pit by whose brink she dares lift on pin- point her cantilever arabesques. never fear power failures for those who advance only by dark. Feel the fouettés overlap: a wheel, seamless, tight on a disciplined spindle. Whip air and go. Safe against stray flickers and shades: tranced she hovers the necessary distances, expecting no leeway till when, lights lowered, she crumples, led offstage, offsight. And still past midnight moving, moving in her skilled marrow, in the pain of not moving, till sleep, the unseeing, spells her limbs: she performs two fingers -- twin dowsing stems -- on a square foot of counterpane. They divine the field. Touching, intent, she dips at the source.
