The Actor Poem by Peter Pacey

The Actor



My life's all for you, he said, recanting
First nights' blaze of self, his head a glitter ball.
All sincerity, he cupped her lovely face and kissed it
Noting, as he did so, how she closed her eyes
Like curtains falling.
The iron safety of his heart clanged down.
