Roof dancers

As the light grows

before my first coffee

they soar over houses

rising,gliding,

shouting, shrieking

Landing, ballet dancers first

on points all

balance on the ridge

quietly moving

sliding over tiles.

Line dancers arrive

sans invitation

stamp, stomp

without synchronisation

back, fore repeatedly.

Tap dancers last to join

stamp, click,

click, stamp

noise increases

dance floor crowded.

Arguments heard

shouts, screams

so much to say

shrieks, cries

conflict happening

Gentle dancers leave

pirouette away

line dancers fly

straight forwards

back again.

Tap, tap, stomp, stomp

seagulls all gone

kettle boils

coffee is made

roof quiet for now.
