The center stage is empty. Stage
right
We see THE YOUNG MAN, only partially
Emerged from shadow, staring at bright
Nothingness. Stage left, in dimmer light, stand
THE MOTHER and THE FATHER, separately,
Yearning for something they no longer
feel.
For us there seems little to
understand:
Ordinary movement through darkness and light.
Underneath, however, all move vertically,
Reaching for more than life can reveal.
