• The Red Curtain Parts

    JUNE

    The world was gray that morning
    Sticky dew on the ground
    Like sleep in the corners of my eyes
    Feeling Empty and cold
    I hear her departure

    The Final Act of Chasity Donloe had begun.


    SCENE ONE

    A rainy day, in a harsh city
    In a steely room the smelled of iron
    Was when she took
    Her final bow.

    Wrapped in white, Accented in red
    Was a mask
    The face of a Love
    Many Loves
    Enveloped in fuchsia hair
    Soft, wide lips, and cold
    The audience sighs in recognition
    The mystery solved.


    SCENE TWO

    Carted away on steely wings
    Hearing the cry of a lonely mother
    Feeling the grip of an angry brother

    I forget my line
    And the curtain
    Is Drawn

    The end of Chasity's Act.
    No Applause Please,
    Not until all
    Have made their exits



    Thank you.
