Open House Tonight

Let the souls come in
like a weary whisper of wind
on a raged weather.
There is enough void in the room
to fill or to feel
even a cumulus cloud could not crowd.
But tell them there’s no light here.
Light travels too fast
all we can huddle are sounds.
Feel free to compose vibrations
but don’t bother to create light.
Free drinks to water your damp souls
I heard some souls were cracking dry.
It’s an open house tonight
But tell them, rigidly
Their shadows are not welcome
there’s not enough void.

Play

we’ve decided

to role play–

without audience

without a stage

only

closed curtains.

 

passing no paper–

application

nor affirming words.

nothing

but restrained signals

 

heart attack

accidental  eye contact

every time

I die. a little

 

but words

kept blanketed

by breath held back.

 

waiting for the moment

for hearts to burst

or minds to erupt

 

when words

slip out

they mean nothing

but scripted lines

 

this role play

we wrote

 

hearts on monologue

 

wrong scene

cut.
