The Darkend Stage.......a poem



Solemnly, she parted the veils of darkness
Observing the two figures adorned in white
Silently engaged in strife
One up, one down
A playful dance
Mannequins pretending to be life

One step, two step
She drew close to the act
Upon the stage
Behind darkened curtain
And absent light
A private play, just for she

Two figures would mock, coyly
Enticing her to engage
Only one step more
She felt their breath
Smelled their heat
They returned center stage

No music, no words
It 'twas silent pantomime
Perplexed, she puzzled
At the meaning of this game
For surely, there was jest
In the movement and the math

But what is she?
A bit player, slightly amused
At the oddish doing ons
Of her own private stage
Where poorly played actors
Hidden in all white
Acted out

All

She dare not say
