20th March
Shmeeta Rabinath
Starlight reflecting off sequins.
Faces adorned with glitter and gold
and silver trinkets dangling
from
dainty
wrists.
Champagne bubbling on the tips of tongues
and with a swish of extravagance,
they were off.
Stealing glances behind elaborate center pieces,
dancing on blisters
and then crying in the bathroom
because never showed up.
