THE PUPPET SERIES

The Puppet - 3

When I was resurrected from the old box under the dark staircase, he had the color of my past!

My sweet puppeteer steered me well past my breath — I scraped my locked knees despite the strings.

But I rule the beholder's eyes, as they move with me onstage; but when the past takes a front seat in the backstage,

all you can do is keep playing...
