On a stranded island
I dance alone
the silent wind blowing my scarf
the warm sand between my toes

thin air as a partner
the rumble of waves as music
a performance for no audience
no hope for an applause

the fish swim by
but never do they glance
as I reek a terrible stench
of depression and desperation

on a stranded island
i dance alone
this ballet will not last long
this solo act is done
