bare

here is where the scenery fades
the fabric falls away
the adornments drop, unclasped
the paint runs down the sink

here is where real life
drowns out the music,
upstages the acting,
thunders over the applause

here is where the pretending stops
where the lighting 
dares you to get comfortable
and the kidgloves come off

yet here is a safe place
for revealing scars
smoothing calluses
and mending hearts and fences

here is your house
dwell in it richly
