PROMPT — Who am I today?
I am the widower
who stares at
framed pictures
and talks to ghosts.
I am an aging man
who hears
voices
in the
cracks
of the floorboards.
I am "Krapp's Last Tape"
a spool
that is constantly
rewound to
a fleeting moment
when her eyes
opened and
she let me in.
**** Krapp's Last Tape" is a play by Samuel Beckett
