PUPPETRY

 

 

PUPPETRY

 

 

 

 

 

Where she fain found the festal art

 

of animated puppetry

 

her strings were pulled with rapid haste.

 

As providence in sleep ordained

 

she learned to bear infirmity.

 

from actions cloaked in cowardice.

 

The cicatrice of wounds received

 

by he who pulled the strings

 

still evident in fevered dreams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written in haste Christmas morning - now to enjoy the festivities.
