One International Women's Day
Sometimes there is nothing to do but get drunk
and listen to Mahler's Fourth.
Sometimes there is only Papa's Vineyard cheap white wine
and too much rain to bother.
Defrosting my freezer,
Confronting my anger,
I'm letting it all melt away.
Claudio Abbado conducts from my turntable
"Des Knaben Wunderhorn."
In heaven we begin again!
Frederica von Stade is our leader.
