Curtain Call

It’s time for curtain call With its luxurious brocade The opaqueness of lush texture Cascading to the ground Suddenly it’s lights out As I sit frozen in my seat A blur of darkness before my eyes Dense with stirred emotion Unresolved nebulous ambiguity Before the finality of the call I leave trying to walk it off But just can’t shake the haunting Bathed in an opaque and enigmatic fog Its clutching shadow cast upon my heart AP: 1st place 2020 Submitted on November 23, 2019 for contest OPAQUE sponsored by ANTHONY SLAUSIN
