POETRY

Dancing alone in your kitchen

Why do you do it, ma belle?

Why so alone, all alonely?

You move with the music so well.

Up to the sink

Back to the stove

Spoon in the pot, stir, stir.

What are you feeling

What are you thinking

As you are spinning, whirr, whirr?

I dance alone on my hearthstone

There where the fire of life glows.

Moved by the music, I gather

Strength for the cold winter snows.
