THE PUPPET SERIES

The Puppet - 5

“Someday, I’ll find my voice. Until then the show continues…”

Strings unattached, I yearn for a free fall, freeing my puppeteer from forgetting to hold me high...

In any case, the threads are fraying and it's just a matter of time that waits not — the free fall should come before the process gets as tiresome as fraying.

Scissors I look for, but the pair I find are rusting in your hands, as you watch me squirm and choke as I hang from the loose ends...

Time wears away but the strings stay, only the hearts fray. Yes, wood can die that way, too...

Nude expressions adorn the non-existent to tell their stories — the existent don't bother to have any...
