Marionette
Marionette
Never locked
The door is open
pet me, untangle me
Twistin’ and gropin’
Positioned, the curtains rise
Pull I stand, proud
Push I sit, shy
Tug here… My hands raise
You open my mouth to praise
Jiggle that string
I walk away
Stop and still, and I stay
Manipulation
Control
Inside
Hollow
Eyes don't see
Ears don't hear
Close the curtain
I'm not here
