You hang your dress on the ghost of a hook
Tag still scratching your neck
My coat’s on the chair with the split in the arm
Thread holding on by a breath
Bulb in the mirror is yellow and humming
Like it’s tired of this scene
Your lipstick leans on an old chipped saucer
Beside a glass gone clean
This is how the movie ends
No slam
No chase
No last-minute rain
Just coffee cups with our prints half-faded
And two coats waiting backstage
You take your lines
I’ll take mine
No one boos
No one begs us to stay
Just a dressing room at closing time
And nothing brave to say
You fold your sigh in the pocket of your bag
Next to last winter’s receipts
I joke about stealing the ashtray again
You laugh
But it falls at your feet
There’s tape on the floor where we used to stand
Hitting our marks on cue
Now the only cue is the clock on the wall
Blinking out of view
This is how the movie ends
No slam
No chase
No last-minute rain
Just coffee cups with our prints half-faded
And two coats waiting backstage
You take your lines
I’ll take mine
From here we improvise separate plays
Just a dressing room at closing time
And nothing brave to say
Somebody’s laughter leaks under the door
You fix a stray hair that’s not really there
I practice being a guest
We don’t say forever
we don’t say regret
Just message me when you’re home
You straighten a photograph nailed to the wall
Leave it better than you found this room
This is how the movie ends
No storm
No speech
No grand score to swell
Just programs stuffed in a cracked wastebasket
And a key we leave on the shelf
You take your lines
I’ll take mine
We let the understudies have their day
Just a dressing room at closing time
And nothing brave to say
Just a dressing room at closing time
And we both walk away
