Tiny Painted Doll
"Look!" she said,
Proudly holding
A tiny painted doll;
"I can make it dance!",
She squealed,
Excitement in her voice;
I watched, bewitched,
As the doll danced
And twitched;
Grinning like an idiot,
I joined the dance,
Arms flailing madly;
"Now watch!" she gasped,
Taking a darning needle,
Stabbing repeatedly;
"Urghh!", I laughed,
Bending over,
Feigning pain;
The doll moved faster,
Limbs blurring,
As she made it dance;
"I can't keep up!"
I laughed so hard,
Feeling sharp pain in my side;
I tried to stop dancing,
But my aching limbs
Kept on flailing madly;
She held my gaze,
Her eyes laughing
With manic intensity;
With a final ******,
She pushed the needle
Straight through the heart,
The doll slipped from her grasp,
Tumbling to lay beside
My still twitching body;
The last thing I ever saw,
Her reaching into a silken bag
And picking up another doll.
