It s a masquerade
Of far sought ambitions
Comic decisions
& radiant precision
To greet the visitorTo greet the visitor
With laughter and warmth
The candlelit ponds in the sward
Staring longingly through the window
At this place that was known.
For not so long.
But friendly and gone.

When the lights go out.
& the smoke blows.
Shhhh.
