In the theater of creation, there’s creaking in your seat. What are you creating today?
Maat
The shift had ended.
Sound of feet on gravel paths.
My feet carried me into the local theater of creation,
Disheveled - 5 o’clock shadow at noon.
From my seat the screen seemed silvery,
murmurings of those behind me…
breathing harder with creaking in their seats
They’d completely suspended their disbelief
A projector’s light fanned like watercolor splashes.
Painting the imaginations of yesterday’s bruised knees
and tomorrow’s fragrance.
