Amber Breaths
Amber swirls surrounding those of maddened lustre white,
enigmas wrapped in courtesy a business of delights
The puppet master playing strings manipulating to deceive
the jaws of indulgence closing in,
the light becoming of the sins,
clutching at sanity, mind clouding with liquor,
the puppeteer and the many fickle.
Masks to wear, a cave to hide in, we do the dance as they count the notes in,
