Puppet Dance

Puppet toy,
boy embodied on a string.

Almost human, his hop and dance.
Mimicked madness as

the lights dim and the strings
fall off.

Such a pale and wan display,
a wordless apparition

as he runs wild off the stage.
It’s a swarm in a storm.

      1. There is a name for it I think! Stringphobia? …or in Emu’s case, handupbottomphobia?

        1. LOL! It’s pupaphobia. What a ridiculous word. Sound like fear of puppies.
