Round & round
Round & around
Drip! Drip!!
Drip!!!
I mimick the ceiling fan
I mimick the tap
The shoes are tighter than my dress
But I twirl around without a care
This rhythm, I maintain
Distance, I remain
Candles in the dark room
Tables for two
The sun sets in an orange vase
I pluck out her petals
One by one as I chant
I can get over the cold
Even though it’s been years
My shoes are still dancing
Because the music plays
Faster in dusk
The dark hues round
My eyes, drip
Wide sinks
Liquid trickles
Down my spine
Everything stinks
But you can ignore the stench
Match my step
Wait for the sound
Wait for the bartender
Wait for the order
Wait, while I complain
Wait! I’m yet to answer
Wait!! Don’t start without me…
Wait!!!
Don’t leave without me… please
Round & round
Round & around
The ceiling fan spins
Like a young ballerina
Who didn’t know better
Drip! Drip!!
Drip!!!
Every five minutes the tap leaks out
Droplets of desire
She’d buried inside her heart.
No, I’m not Cinderella,
Not one of the invitees either.
I heard there was a ball here
& I was just passing by.
