Putrid puppetry
adorned in sharp alcohol,
where strings are lightning
and the puppet has a heart.
She speaks as well
but shock eats everything;
Association
and irritation
become a recurring phenomenon;
to escape it
is out of the question
and the lightning becomes magnetism
back in fear
of karma biting back
with a single flick.
It's a pendulum effect
where she knows what to expect
whenever gasping
to save herself.
The pendulum keeps swaying
without an end,
and through this she's her only friend.
