Charity Janisse

I closed my eyes and saw a red curtain
A red wine colored thick heavy draping
Velvet curtain
And a dim lit stage
It’s night and dark
And no one seems to be around

And still the stage remains.

We close our eyes
Fall comfortably into a restful restless sleep
But there we are
On
That stage
In front of the whole world
Even when we close our eyes
Ever when we sleep
And most everyone seems to be okay with this.
