"Puppets" -- Natalie Martell

“Puppets” — Natalie Martell

In never knowing, we evolve
lately little
Naming kingdoms, wasting empires,
losing loyalty
Keeping warm . . . enough;
a lasting labor
Welcoming emptiness,
leaking
love
Everyman
lectures lessons:
Liberty. Lies.
Lie at the bottom of an Inkwell.
