the King's Hall

Writing Prompt: Describe this room by using body parts.

The dancers take their place in the darkness.
The violins are poised and ready for action.
Then as light unfolds individual ballerinas do pirouettes,
their slim bodies with arms held high above their heads form perfect vertical lines.
As the music changes, their bodies become graceful arches,
their arms and hands reaching the distance to one another
until finally they are all connected on the ceiling to form a living flower.
The beauty of their dance lingers for centuries.
