Last Curtain Call

Days when it rained
Tapping rhythm on the rooftop 
The children stayed inside 
And would put on 
short plays 
unscripted theatrical performances Impromptu entertainment 
With a stage made of pillows 
mismatched sheets for theater curtains 
hung with wistful string 
Costumes put together from past Halloweens.
Actors portraying vibrant quirky characters 


The last curtain call 
was many years ago 
I still hear echoes of soliloquies 
hysterical laughter and extended applause 
Ringing from the past.
Now when it rains 
The roof leaks tears
In the puddles left behind.
All that can be seen 
Is the reflection of an old man.
