Doll maker
Threaded with glassy eyes
You aimed high
High to the heavens
To a universe condensed down
Into a dreamy string of wires
Did you cry?
Did you ever look anyone in their eyes?
I wonder what it was like in that moment

Did you float up high?
Did you see yourself on the ground in surprise?
Or did you welcome it; a serene goodbye?
Was it blissful to tell the world goodbye?
Or did you writhe on the ground in agony?
Did you reject what was happening?
Or did you slip away unaware of it all?
Slip away and become one of your dolls

That's where she laid back onto the grass
That's where she stared at the clouds
Imagining the shape of an arrow or sailboat or someone who cared if she drowned
That's where she slept through the night
That's where she finally closed her eyes
There's where she served the community providing a service for people she didn't even like

That's where she stepped from the bus onto the sidewalk
That's where her legs set in motion
Passing on by all the strangers and neighbors and friendly conversators and what was the difference anyway?
A rose spread its branches above the pavement
Spreading each petal by the hour
Extending out brightly for everyone to see
Without a second thought to its strenuous motion
The trees extend out to the sky
The branches twisting around each other
Flowing effortlessly
(But why wasn't she?)
An exercize in useless complexity
Millions of branches that stretch out endlessly for no fucking reason at all

She walked on by like a zombie
She put one foot in front of the other
Bending the knee at twenty-five degrees
The foot clunking down to the pavement...
