Ballerina
Josef Theurl
Fade
little soldier
in a way
anyway.
Fade
by the hour
bright in colour
every day.
Now take your eyes off of her
unconditionally
for you.
Fade
ballerina
in a way
anyway.
Fade
into thin air
going nowhere
day by day.
Let’s take our mind somewhere else
categorically
say no more
before we fade.
You know you’re not here at all
ballerina
you.
