FLY POEM

CHALINA CUTTS
 
The curtains rise
Mumbles turn to silence
And the tragedy begins

Line after line delivered
Onlookers echo tears and giggles
Then scene change

A flurry from behind
The house becomes a valley
And noon dims to night

With a tug of a rope
The move of a light
from the sides they work

Actors must follow their cues
The musicians keep to the notes
Yet, without us, they would falter
​

So behind the painted scenery
​We hide out of sight
And work the flies
Picture
