Masters Hand

Music box tinkles marionette song, porcelian doll strings pull her along. Each movement controlled and precise, a plan like clockwork she will devise. Her masters hands tighten their grip, cords slice fingertips, baring flesh and bone. Tugging her back to where no daylight shone. Lifeless in her box she waits to dance her escape. Bling ting a ling bling the music begins. will she be forgiven for her sins or live in slavery in her masters hands.

This one walks home on a powerfully mysterious metaphor. Is this confessional, after all, or merely observational? There is a pscho-sexual tension evident, but is the master vested with human or superhuman powers? Well done, but a few more clues would make it even more powerfully mesmerizing.

lovely with a bitter twist. very good keep up the good work

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
