Marionette.

Twine and stitch to
make it whole,
Resident electric, no
sign of a soul,

Twitch, residual, cut
to play the chord,
Bone and blood, but
this thing is fucking
bored,

Elastic, plastic, prosthesis
takes the reigns,
Treasure the pleasure, from
skin to pulsing veins,

Compulsive programming,
twitching to and fro,
Staggered, the thing, wondering,
incapable,

Tendons twitch like
puppet strings,
twitching somewhere behind
the scenes,


The monster is man, standing
hand in hand,

Skin to bone, and bone
to sand,
Forgotten and severed from
the Master's bony hand...
