Curtain
Final scene
last act
end of day
cue dimming lights
improvised speeches
scripted words
in an unwritten play
Clean stage
trodden boards
one man show
cue spotlight filters
cut the prompts
a lit cigarette
with a tangerine glow
Exit time
off stage left
empty halls
cue silence and still
fondest memories spill
bon voyage, break a leg
curtain falls...
