I Sit in the Theatre

I sit in the theatre and I feel comfortable. It’s familiar. It’s friendly. It’s home.
I sit in the theatre and I feel cold. My body aches just a little. My heart fills with melancholy lust.
I sit in the theatre and I smile. I shudder. I yearn. I weep without tears.

I sit in the theatre. I walk away from the theatre. I think about the theatre. I return to the theatre.

I cannot leave the theatre vacant. I must sit in the theatre.

  1. i feel the same way when i walk into a theater. i love the way it feels…looks….smells….the people who go there….work there….create there. all of it.

    i also feel so very sad there….forgotten dreams…. neglected dreams….unfulfilled dreams…..deep longing. i will return there.

    i hope you do, too.
