Tickets please for the matinee

A Poem by andrew mitchell

In the haunted
theatre of mind
moments seated
watch time on stage
pass by, before
the final curtain.
On standing
memories applaud
in remembrance-
a fitting tribute
where in the gardens
of tombstone greys
lies the epitaph-
the show must go on.
