Reenactment

…and dim the lights, acting as a soft veil covering my eyes,
The numbers on the clock glow faintly across the room,
but it is not this time anymore.

I command each memory deliberately, sharply,
And let them play on stage,
the characters knowing their lines very well,
passing from one scene to the next without hesitation.
