Everything a stage

Everyone the actors
They sputter silence
For, silence is safe

Pull the alarm
Run away
Drawn to no
Cannot stay

Formerly then
A hovering now
A phantom past
Wandering
Never considering how

Seized by the river’s
Forever churning luminosity
Finally
Listing, hearing, seeing
Time for thoughts
Tracing scars

Suddenly
The cold
Silly scene
Moments later
Burning
Falling
Darkness
Done

Welcomes
Once unreal
Comforting promise of change
A chance
To remember
