Dark empty spaces

What is this dark space?

This cavernous theater of rock wall curtains

crashing down on unsuspecting tourists

Taking photographs in plaid shorts

and sweaty polos, oblivious to the ending

 

The orchestra plays in aria nightmares

Kettle drums roar beneath a thunder cloud catwalk

Sand bags pelt bit actors

running for cover far beyond the cheap seats,

collecting stale popcorn as they go

 

Windows boarded in caustic fringe work,

while laced languishing sets the pace

in shadowed stripes of bad intent

Stringing from each anchor,

the dangling horrors nesting in the rafters

 

What is the dark space?

It is my mind of armor stud rusting

Scraping the walls of residual panic,

a dead skin pathway falls to the stairwell

as I empty it for something new

 

Stand clear those who would frown,

this soon vacant place will fill with joy

Breathing new life into thoughts and ideas,

phrases in whimsical whitewash shall live

and my smile will return to where it belongs
