Summer Fair

Marionettes are manipulated by strings


the red curtain falls down, children laugh

Strings severed
No more dancing
Can't dance
Useless
Lifeless
With two left feet

chords fret as trembling waves

Stop break and listen
A song is always playing
Breeze plays the leaves
Cicada strums the strings
As the Vireo's aria unfolds

Strings hold the pieces
The invisible not seen
But the blood makes it okay

Both strings
Soul wings

A strum
A hum

Both wound
Sweet sound

A pick
In sync.

But leave them all with just enough, to leave the people passive

You played Judy Teen,
became our Top of the Pops,
strumming Spanish strings
in that epic bowler hat,
somehow breaking every code.

Tune me like an instrument
Only you can hear
As your voice plucks my heart's strings,
Resonating your feelings

Whispers of pine, aged,
Carved by hands of bygone days.
Strings hum with life's breath,
Each note a story, tender—
Echoes of eternity.

Open Mic

She plays her love for me on strings,
And I, a lucky soul, am still,
And listen as she sings her heart— 
A prize no other man can keep.

I gave no strings attached.
Gave you enough rope to hang yourself.
The rest's up to you.

Strings pulled
Man moves
Mouth moves
Man Listens
Money paid for show
Man is poor
Long nose
Lies are told
Puppet in box
Man is gone
