Allemande Sway

Warm milk and nutmeg
swathe around her feet
in an allemande sway.

Her fingers;
they count the curls
and flicks of silken toes,
giving marks out of ten -

fourteen; for novelty,

with enough pretension
to humble the ocean.

Didn't know what category to place this in.
For those who need to know - "allemande" is a type of dance. If you want to more, look it up!
