Curtain Call


Steady is the valance
Wrinkled are the drapes
The blind abstracts focus
As the outside retracts its call

Enclosed 
Until curtains draw
 A stated shade
Reflects it all

Beyond the tint of shadows
Between the aged frame
There lays a pane
Tempered and alone

Steady is the valance
Glue above a fabric
Aching for repeal

Only as the light reenters vision
Will the settled dust reveal
