![This PDF contains excerpts from a poem titled "**The Complex Choreography of Womanhood by Susan L Lin**". *   The poem begins by describing observations at the speaker's parents' house, including **impressions of a child's feet**, a **glass music box with a ballerina frozen in arabesque**, and metal wings. *   The poem also describes the experience of seeing multiple versions of oneself scattered throughout the house in different locations such as **the kitchen (conjuring meals), the parlor (receiving guests), the hallway (escaping stares), the closet (relishing darkness), and the attic (scouring collections)**. *   The poem mentions growing up in a house **surrounded by mirrors**.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/65/75/6575a206-4a74-4088-a0fc-76d31c2a9ab8/content/images/2025/03/1000003509.png)
