Lullabye For a Dying Man
"The play centers on a man condemned to death in the electric chair for a murder he no longer remembers. He chants, intones, and speaks his feeling of song--for why should the poet write of the nightingale and the forest, things that cannot even hear his song, when the victim, a man, is condemned to die. Because there is no poet to sing his life, the victim will sing it himself. He will compose his own lullaby, the lullaby of a dying man, a man who killed because he failed in his fear to be able to express his love."
