Strings

Lost behind the stage,
I saw the Masters who pulled the strings.
Great giants of strength and humor
Some filled with cruelty.
Seeing them, I pitied the puppets.

It was then, I realized
I had once been a puppet.
One of those giants had been my Master.
My strings had been cut.
Who had cut them?
And… why?

October, 1987

About Jayne d'Arcy

I am now, as of 2010, 48 years old. I do a bit of digital artwork, and photography. I also write Harry Potter fan fiction that is Severus Snape-centric. No slash. On this blog I have a library of my own original work, which I hope you'll be inclined to visit and comment on.
