the closing of the curtains;
the million details of dust, of objects,
fade to ethereal.

Actors cue in darkness, poised to move
for the audible world, still open;
greedy even without the cumbersome
distraction of sight.

With effort, nay, regret even,
the bright world beyond the lids await;
though, so easy to return here,
a show waiting always, when curtains close.

Wars are fought,
arms crawl through wood shadows
turn solid and run to the center,

in this play.

The show lives with
the closing of the curtains;
the million details of dust, of objects,
fade to ethereal.

Actors cue in darkness, poised to move
for the audible world, still open;
greedy even without the cumbersome
distraction of sight.

With effort, nay, regret even,
the bright world beyond the lids await;
though, so easy to return here,
a show waiting always, when curtains close.
