Backstage (original)

Combing and combing and curling and crimping and caressing their long silky hair.

Rouged cheeks and whited faces.

Comb teeth glide and hands smooth hair.

Ribbed ribbons and blacked eyes decorating, with pearl beads and beads of sweat.

Combing and combing and curling and crimping the hair back from their faces.

Pinned into place.

The women are ready to dance.
