A
Play
by Vanessa S.
Performance:
November, 2002
Hillcrest Juvenile Hall, San Mateo
Time:Its
winter, and dusk settled in.
Place:The blanket of night circles the stars,
and the company of fireflies crowd the hillside, the
dandylion trail I’ll sit beside, as the light
from the fire bounce and twinkle upon the petals,
the dandylions could never hide.
At Rise:Amor the Seasonal Change and Angel
Face Midnight Moon, can see the stillness in a praire
night as the moon shines bright and makes it feel
right. They can feel a wintery coolness that leaves
them with a chill they feel the warmth of a midnight
moon, sitting on top of a hill. They feel love when
it’s real.
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Hi Amor
how are you tonight?
|
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Oh yea,
what do you mean how are you tonight, you said you’d
never lie, you lied, didn’t you, RIGHT!
|
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Whats
gotten into you. I thought you wanted to chill like the
wind and hold each other all night. |
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Looke hear,
sweetheart, your mama Aurelia, the angel told me everything.
|
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Woh, woh,
hey everything, what do you mean everything?
|
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Your
mother told me about the whole creating ruckus in the
sky thing, the whole shooting stars game in 4 days! Babe
you can get hurt you can blow yourself up in the blanket
of night. How can you go behind my back like that, just
leave get out of my sight.
(She turns around and begins to cry) |
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
I
was gonna tell you Amor don’t walk away from me and
please don’t cry, you know how I feel about crying. |
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Don’t
cry? Don’t cry! What do you mean don’t cry.
I used to think crazy like you, remember when I used
wind in a snow storm and a blizzard came about, homes
were torn down folks died, and remember when the sheep
froze, I had to wake up my sister the sun, to dry the
ice.
|
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Yea
that was the biggest year of your life. Babe you are and
will be a legacy. I want something to remind the orbited
blanket of night that I am the ruler of the night light.
|
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
But
babe do you want to hurt other lives? Do you want to see
your mother cry? |
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
No. |
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Well
then change your evil eye, and walk away with me in the
sunlight.
(Four days later)
Time: It’s a wintery cool sunrise Amor, is
in the fruit fields picking morning breakfast.(He walks
to her) |
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Amor
I love you. |
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
What
are you so happy about? |
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Thought
I would let you know I am not going. |
|
|
|
| Amor: |
|
Oh
yea, why not |
|
|
|
Angel-
face: |
|
Because
I wish not to corrupt the blanket tonight. I’d rather
lay with you and hold you all night. |
|
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
