Tiebreaker
a liberator might find
opportunistic calling
in severing stringed burdens
that puppets possess
reminder then of two forces
weighted on imbalance mostly
in polished judgement for
rusty scales
solid limbs drape
casually to unseen hands
untroubled causality in
fatalist's crafted skill
strain the cords to breaking
points only one
direction down
early grave from gravity
no upward motion
all pained eye moulded
fingers suggest life
but do not make it
blind to see freedomscape
for deadwood's carved children
