Puppet Poem by Devin Iven

Puppet



The stage is dark.
The curtains rise.
I step out.
The silence dies.

My arm raises high.
A vicious knife.
An open wound.
The gleaming scythe.

The river runs.
A blood red hue.
Life slips away.
Eyes roll askew.

The lights go dim.
I step back.
The curtains close.
And all goes black.

'A show so brief.'
A whisper said.
The puppet master.
In my head.
