Mountain Language


The years thunder by.
The dreams of youth grow dim
where they lie
caked in dust on the shelves of patience.
Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.
Where, then lies the answer?
In choice.
Which shall it be:
Bankruptcy of Purse
or Bankruptcy of Life?
Sterling Hayden

Ava Roy, Artistic Director of
the site integrated theatre company We Players
