Theatre
In the darkness of the theatre
absence reigns over
the indiscernible performance
of an ambivalent dust particle
actors fill the air with
grunts as though talking
of love in the theatre
full of corpses while
music debates life
at the moment of the lead
actor’s death
while you laugh at his funny hat
and his shirt, with the fiery red
stamp over his heart
