Booked for the life of this show:

an imaginary box, ungilded,

free of Victorian fol-de-rols.

 

We snuggle, picnic, drop crumbs,

giggle, shoes off toe-waggle,

 

whisper and mime, comfortable

in each others breathspace and time.

 

Scan silver skulled gaggle below

watch the stage, watch them

 

watching us, watching for the cue;

I'm watching you.

 

Know as the conductor turns a page,

we are outside and yet within this score;

 

liet motif in its overture,

and so it begins, again.

'comfortable

Hello there, Lena.  Always brightens my day when you pop up out of nowhere it seemssmiley

Love the idea of the 'Leimotif'. Fantastic imagery for the way life is...turning and turning, then going right back on itself again, and again...like the tide.

Hope things are fine with you this sunny Sunday afternoon.
