a puppet hung on slack frayed string room for mistakes and mold like i'm drifting underwater if you cut my string i am a ragdoll dead weight in the warm dusty water clogged by crisp brown leaves kookaburras gargle a mockery because i haven't left the water emotionally shot i am a daughter he despises calamity jeopardizes my vanity criticizes forced apathy "i love your hair" but "don't cut your hair" also "why won't you brush your hair" he rules our musty maze and lovingly dictates laughs when we cry because "you're fine!" wiping my hot tears with an expired hanker chief snickering kiss on the forehead and he forgets
