GHOSTS



Every empty theater's ghosts believe that they
Were once the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
On a ruined stage at
midnight try whispering
"Hoi! Burbage; art deaf? -- that was your cue!"
Some burly shade is sure to conjure himself up
Out of rust and cobwebs,out of echoes,
The memory of a prop sword at his hip.
