Intermission

There is a pause in the story.

In the brighter lights, the moving

and talking in between,

there may be speculation

of next plot twists, of characters,

performances

We will go back in,

we will go down under

to be swept along by the spell

but for now

we will stretch our legs

and take in the crisp fall air

and remember

that whatever happens in the story,

we’ll come out here.
