It sparks into formation; an idea
Awake at night, she invests in it
Allows herself to fancy it
With sleepless excitement, she finds paper and pen
scribbles her intention
and brings it to life.
Taking a step
Away from the wall
Bruised head and all
And pivoting, like a dancer
As the current song,
long, long
and having played far too long
Abruptly ends.
