the shadow puppets line up
behind my eyes
the badger smoothly strolls
on two legs
the opossum moves
claws first
the raven hops
corner to corner
a place of childish whimsy
of jagged, jointed movement
a stage of handless puppeteers
not so much a dream but
a backlit brain
setting up the stage
quickly
a dry run
curtains up
break a leg
