interiors and exteriors melt into each other
insubstantial palaces..
are only wood
the whole wall and rake begin to spin around
lightening strikes in sync with the pounded sheetmetal
the wall falls to reveal a flowery heath, tinted black
photo Marc Vanappelghem
the central heath (and those on it) plunges into blackness
the last palace scenes play out at the edges
a few feathers fall as Gloucester listens..
Gloucester leaps from the stage

Bronx shelter
trial of the three cans
for the war the stage spins again
