            Gas-and-lime light fills the stage

            Still-greenstalk passes ev'ry scene

            With ashes from a timeless ballet,

            Fleshless,Jackless; yet unseen.

            The flautist pipes out from the pit

            A wordless air which tastes of blood;

            Senses crossed, our sap is risen,

            Wicked nightmares mixed with childhood

            Memories, some of which are frozen,

            Others moved by denizens:

            The wood is here, inside this theatre,

            Wall-less, beanstalked,

            Laughing with

            The panto script

            Which ne(v)er was penned.

Spidery phantom scrawl

Lines the theatre walls…
