Vous n'etes que les masques sur des faces masquees	A
Apollinaire	B
	-
Start then with a sense of beginning of sleep	C
entered like a metal door backstage the weight	D
of heavy plush curtains lifted and folded hanging	E
motionless while the catwalk sways and winches	A
and pulleys creak It is no longer rest one seeks	A
but mastery the knowledge of ways to choose	A
among strands of rope rising into the dark boxes	A
of switches levers to be thrown dials gleaming	E
	-
The action comes closer now the murmur of voices	A
tinged with laughter issuing from the cavernous space	A
beyond the footlights And sporadic applause followed	F
by music But though this mattered once though dreams	A
well up in this way too with easy delicious abandon	G
and sleep has its own texture the painted faces seem	H
familiar even your father is here looking the way	I
he always did still this is only rehearsal Truth to tell	J
	-
there is no one out there except the director sitting	E
with his clipboard thirty seats back In the wings	A
the pianist goes over the same simple tune Yes	A
there are spotlights from a place you cannot see	A
and scenery rises and falls and darkened figures	A
glide across the stage during blackout rearranging	E
the furniture all this is happening yet it goes on	K
whether you reach out or whether you simply watch	L
	-
But they have lost the script or dropped the only copy	A
Its pages flutter across the stage lifted by a cold wind	M
blowing from the air shaft swirling up from the alley	A
and the blank walls beyond Fluorescent lights flicker	B
in the wardrobe room In the corridor the red exit sign	N
glimmers All of this is waiting You must write it now	O
you must make it happen There are only a few days left	P
until opening night Come then rest slumber dream	H
	-
take my hand we will visit the forgotten dressing rooms	A
under the stage where the old tragedians scrawled verses	A
on the bare planks We will go up into the attic above	Q
the chandeliers and the catwalks where silence settles	A
like a fine dust on the broken props and the trunks filled	R
with ruined costumes Will they arrive in time these truths	A
to tell this chorus of voices I am convinced of it	S
Let us each take a part let us begin the first reading	E
