“I don’t think you’ve imagined the dying. “
— John Irving “The Cider House Rules”
the puppet wrote three letters
from the alphabet
the puppeteer set in stone
the alphabet was sacred
on the island of Honeysea
the train rattled
the gate creaked
the choice was made
I wish I imagined what happened next
