*
In a theater
the audience sits in the dark,
the wings are dark,
and only the stage is
lighted.
The audience sees the stage
but not into the wings
as embodied humans see
other embodied humans
but not those whose souls
have shed their bodies.
Those in the wings
can see action on the stage
but not vice versa
as angels can see humans
but not the reverse.
