Marionette

In eclipse,
Head bowed, arms up high,
Lifeless on constraints,
Captive by a dictator.

Velvet parts, awaking.
Ceramic eyes fixate.
Massive glare,
Anger to reciprocate.

A jolt, command impending.
Shameful dances,
For living forest.
Cardiac, core ruptures.

Luster fades, filthy.
Renewal to abuse again.
Infinitely bound,
Never will be her own.

- Rasui Akira
