Longerdays

	(A Play... in two vignettes)
.
	Part One  (at daybreak)
.
	She comes in from the dawn like a white shadow
	and hides in the room, alone,  at the top of  the staircase
	behind curtains heavy and doors locked
	cursed and ashamed
	she cries her bane,  the light coming to stay longer now
.
	Wintersnight mistresses are doomed in the spring to wait
	she is not undead, and wishes she could be
.
	Part Two (at prolonged sunset horizon)
.
	lumens.....waning deliberately
	as a bad actor milking a death scene
	and the lovers wrestle on the hillside
	entwined as long as light holds their figures
 into shadows long behind them joined
.	
and he says "I love you for the way we are together"
	and she knows, that as the day will end 
...then  my sister can live outside again...
