‘Overture and beginners’

Venus the night herald

Calls to the showgirls

One by one

~


The evening star

Conducts the chorus line

Galaxy dancing

To Pembury Hill

~

Shy Selena

Lifts her petticoats

Hints at her coming

With ribbons of silverlight

~

Walk with me lover

Where Juliet wandered

Down starlit byways

To the Burmarsh chimes

~


Then maybe in moonlight

To the notes of a nocturne

Selena and Chopin

Will smile on the world.
