Curtain Call

Curtain Call
By David Avila

   I whipPed bAck the curtaIn
noThiNg more than the bUrning deSIre in my heart hoLding fast
  -I strike with blinDing speed thE curtain back into pLAce
   my tWo feet not two feEt but exTensions of who I Am
And I Know who is ... sCene
  Are theY not separAte from me

I look bEYond where My feet wEre or will haVe been
  the gRound fueling the dEeper desires tO stay the couRse
   The sTakes in place keeping my teNt from falLing
  ~Am I jusT this little Man
     and shApe the fiGure by virtUe of Where I cHoose to go neXt
   THe sTorm thinks she wiLl be too much
  I Saw me lookiNG back craNKing the wHeels

she doesn't knOw there is soMething deePer
-DeEPer in me and deeper inTo the earth I go
 to keep daNcing my hands heLd back
 My feet not witHStanding
   ~I know wHo sees me as I am lOoking baCk
  they do not prETend to not be Seen
  who does nOt pretenD to not be who I am
 one does not pretend to kNow the ansWer to that questIOn and scream it from the mOuntain top
  again you maY find yourself ... Lost
