blame the puppeteer

Seattle, Washington | Madison Goldbeck

You’re like every God I’ve prayed to
And now I’m hoping you won’t be swayed
If there is blame it is on the puppeteer
And now I’m asking you won’t disappear
Envy doesn’t look much like excellency
And now I beg we guard this destiny
Even the felony of jealously
And where your errors may not trudge
All who may judge will mate the bloodline
But maybe perhaps, we can find the goldmine
There I can meet you at the finish line
To prove this is not facts of heredity
And together possess a pedigree.

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

The Bat & The Bird

  The dark still nurses its secret. But the change in the bat is inevitable even in night skies. If she’s alive now, then she was dead before. Staying put bestowing to habit, Though, like a stone, unaffected. That wasn’t it. The bat slept. Masked upon black mildew, As angels wept over dead ice. Frozen […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
