Movies

                           Movies

At times I am Living in my very own Movie—
  Full of Props and a Script, & talented Extras
A Story so Moving, no stagehand could ever
  Figure out how to Regain any Hope of Control.
                                ~
And the Scenes are Beyond any Present Reality—
  Phosphorescent Atmospheres, Impossible & Thick
The Wardrobes are straight out of another Dimension
  And Faces Made Free, to Finally Relax.
                                ~
This one in particular, I Remember so vividly—
  She Arrived in a Dress sewn of Crimson & Scarlet
And the Blood in her Glass was no Amateur Prop
  But Willingly Drawn from her Supporting Cast.
                                ~
For Dead they Arrived, and Dead they Played—
  And the Music carried on, & everyone Danced
And the Lights stayed Dim, so no one could See
  The Bruises & Blisters of her Glass-Slipper'd Feet.
