Prima Ballerina

The lovers dance
An half year ago
Showed you my heart, my hat, my care.
The lovers ballet
You’ve never seen
Seems to be the weight,
We today bear.

The words I used brought you to cry.
You’ve never seen me dance.
No words to find
That prove my red shoes.
No words to safe us from
Defense.

I’d danced for you
Eight months ago
To make you touch my eyes.
I’d danced for you
Used water and wine
To open my heart
By love,
So wise.
