SHE

She turns around
And she wonders where the time went
She turns and leaps above

She turns on her tiptoes
She tumbles and kneels

She wonders where the tightrope ends
She thinks about ballerinas
And pink
And floating and gloves
She wonders when little lady wings rip

She wonders and she turns around
And tries to jump
And runs past time
