[SONYA]
Early Sunday morning
Natasha and I lit a candle
Looked in the mirror
[NATASHA]
I see my face
[SONYA]
Don’t be silly
They say you can see your future
In the long row of candles
Stretching back and back and back
Into the depths of the mirror
In the dim confused last square
You’ll see a coffin or a man
Everyone sees a man
[NATASHA]
I see the candles
Stretching back
So far away
I see the mirrors
I see a shape in the darkness
Is it him or is it—
He’s lying down
Oh Sonya why is he lying down?
I’m so frightened!
