Against the hall.
Her body stood out as a black shadow.
Faces the dark hourglass.
With all options open
But so indecisive
Time is the light that has come to expose her
To this World of Spectators.
And she continues to dance
What’s that word…Prance
As “Rudolph the Red-nose Reindeer”
Does in the snow. On all those cartoons she watches,
Around Christmas Time.
Too big for the shoes in which she feels comfortable
Too much to do with so little time
And
As time shines at her back
all she sees is her own shadow
