Going to the theatre is always such fun. But I wonder sometimes about the actors, how they feel when they’re on stage, what it’s like when the curtain comes down, when the run of the play is over …
ON STAGE
the curtain rises 
…lowers as actors
steal their moment
applause echoes
…while action
closes in their hands
they become
…who they are
their names defined
lights dim and the set
…draws to itself
as voices fade
