she warms up gently
she needs to walk prettily
here she goes, ‘en l’air’
there ‘glissade’ – she glides five five:
but it helps if you’re a ghost
🩰👻🩰
In French
en l’air – in the air
glissade – to glide (a gliding movement for 5th to 5th)

A wonderful amalgamation of languages creating the perfect air of the ghost. The act of glissading is rather fun, sliding down a hill in the snow halted by only ones ice axe. Well done.

I learned the term Glissading from survival school. It fits the ghost beautifully.
