A Tableau Of Characters Poem by Doris Cornago
A Tableau Of Characters
Walking on the seashore I glanced across the distance
On the horizon, a tableau of characters appeared
Like a movie unreeling, soldiers crouching
In a long drawn out battle, surreal
Figures as in a dream
Hastened to view
Closer, faded
In the blue
Like a
Photo
Who
Will
Believe
A child barely
Twelve, isolated
Fond of reading, weaving
Dreams of make-believe characters
Yet, through the years, I wondered how such
Scene appear out of nowhere, projected into my
Uncomprehending mind, to be turned over and over, in silence
