upon cutting the strings…

 
sing a song of sixpence –
pocket full of –
why?
nursery rhymes – forgotten –
(innocence and nonchalance went missing).
on the underside of hope;
beneath the spangled starry sky,
on the ledge –
precariously balanced –
anxious,
animated…
(marionettes dance –
unaware of the importance of – strings -).
tied to you –
i am!
to life and death and why and why not…
alabaster dedications –
engraved with –
when and why and what for.
the soul –
however –
un-contained within the stone…
 
(birds know heaven).
