BELONG (Susan McKeown)
She said I feel like a widow on a vast frontier
Working my fingers to the bone like the rest of us here
Fifty miles from the nearest town
A million miles from any man
Don't lose yourself, not now
Keep your wits about you, somehow
It's gonna be a cold, cold winter and long
Cold winter and long, you'll find your place
To belong
Went to the corner store, in the rain
I dressed us both warm and kept my head down
Spoke to no one for fear the pain
Would spill out in a torrent again
I lay my head down on my pillow at night
I'm on my own but I'm doing all right
Say a prayer to make me strong
And try to remember how it feels to be a woman
