"Ekaterina" by Lenora McCoy
Brave
oh so very brave!
such hardship
she has faced
Her lover
gone
All alone
no one to hold her
No one to skate with
She skates all alone
so hard
no one to throw her into the jumps
No one to lift her high into the air
she falls
falls
falls
falls
No Seriozha, whose eyes she looked into
Katoosha & Daria all alone
her friends
travel very far
to comfort her
at Sergei's funeral
They light candles
say prayers in Russian
and mourn the loss
of their friend
her lover
A year gone by
she tries again
to skate
alone now
With her friends
they skate
for Sergei
"I want you to know I skated tonight not alone. I
skated with Sergei. That's why it was so good."
All her love
for him
is reflected
by her fans
who care so much
They love her, Ekaterina Gordeeva
and mourn her loss -- her husband, and partner, Sergei Grinkov
