#NPM Day 6- Postmortem
Prompt: Abandoned puppet
Sick smile
still plastered between
neck
and
nose.
It extends upward, twisting cheek,
and reaching toward the windows of the soul.
Abandoned it lies.
Hardly anything to smile about,
but conditioned by habit.
And paint.
Once animated limbs now eerily splayed like an unexamined
unidentified,
undiscovered corpse.
The only well intended gesture
has been keeping the dust at bay,
and the weeds away from master's final performance.
