Cinderella

Audio version

Slowdance yourself at sunset

In the incense smoke

To the sound of the solar inverter

You found your shoe at last

It was in the back of the cupboard

The pumpkin is in your belly

Sweet as apricot with the chicken

Someone else caught

And killed for you

You were never at home in a palace

What did the prince want from you, anyway?

It was your voice

It was the way you danced

Knowing you only had until midnight

When everything would vanish

It was the energy

That last-day-alive intensity

Slowdance yourself

Stratocumulus forms in the north-west

And the storm sweeps away your unrest.
