one by one
they filed through the door
no one looked familiar
one by one
they filed through the door
none were my friends
one
by
one
no one
the performance had started
maybe they were in the back
kneeling down behind a tree
walking through the space
no one looked familiar
smiling at strangers
no one
the final piece
flowed together
like a forest
we all joined hands
and bowed together
friends and family surrounding dancers
and there I stood
alone
no one came
