A Drawn Curtain

An actor's final scene.

Curtain drawn for the final time.
No more glare of fiery lime.

Actor takes a final bow,
leaving quietly, the here and now.

Back of house, a mournful chime,
marks the last, eventual climb.

Lines no longer the play endow.
Yet, sweet release, it does allow.
