The words of a man form in the open cavity of its mouth.
People laugh.
A childhood memory sits in a tree
The branches hold with time
A small plastic toy
A shadow of something left behind.
The moon cradles the surface of distant water.
An expectant mother watches.
A fan maintains its cyclic journey,
Oscillates, and then stops
Turns course.
Stone surfaces stand ready among the fruit
A dandelion stands at the hub of a seed
The crown is silver white and yellow
The top opens the way to a sweet
Brown swath

The puppet
