I was on the stage
That isn't a dream
I was on the stage there
Mostly men and occasionally

One wasn't thinking
One was dancing then

I was on the stage
Whipping my hair
On the stage there

A seriousness sat
And a loneliness
Below me

I was on the stage
Looking straight into the faces

Opening my lips
Straight into the faces

On the stage
Terrible untrained
Looking straight into the faces
