The final installment of The Puppet Series. If you would like it to continue, let me know and I will look into it. Enjoy!
Day.
A burning sphere up in the sky.
A burnt skinned girl shades blackened hard eyes.
She looks upwards and emits a sigh.
The light is so pretty as it bakes the world dry.
The earth is ablaze and she doesn’t know why.
The sizzling sounds as her stitches catch fire.
She looks at herself as she flakes apart.
So much effort to have failed from the start.
She watches the ashes as they fall to the ground.
Fear takes hold as a wind blows them around.
She gets to her feet and flees for her home.
The darkened pit that she calls her own.
She flees across the ground with blazing hair.
A burnt skinned girl leaving burnt treads there.
She reaches her hole and shelters inside.
She’s seen day now and it was worth the ride.
The pain she would feel would kill with ease.
But the young dead girl does not feel.
When the dark has returned she steps from the hole.
She looks at the sky and smiles at what she knows.
The wind in the sky that crawls on the ground.
It coughs on the rocks as it scatters dust around.
She sets off in the dark to find what she needs.
More strings, more wood and more weeds.
She now must repair the sun’s burning deeds.
