She dances in the cloak of death
Her heart palpitating
slow
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of light
Her eyes sparkling
morose
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of despair
Her feet forlorn
quivering
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of hope
Her breath intoxicated
poisonous
time ticks onward

She dances in the clock of birth
Her hands trembling
languidly
time ticks onward
