Ribbons

Ribbons

Ribbon tied in bows on a skeletal frame
Fingers pull on the ribbons
Twisting them this way and that
Just to watch the skeletal being dance.

Dancing all night long I’m tired to the bone
These wires sticking from me itch
Longing for more, know there is so
I sever the cords that bind me
To those puppeteers behind the curtains.

Fluttering, several severed ribbons
In the wind, colors of a deep rainbow.
