Beauty falls

A clumsy circus performer holds a dainty woman's heel in the palm of his hand. Up he looks at her face, as radiant as the sun, extending her hands to the heavens shaming the constellations around her. Every thought but her evacuates his dim mind. For a moment, he hesitates and in an instant she crashes headlong in the net. He sees her sprawled beneath him like a trapped animal and tries to recover that image of beauty once more.
