Rag Doll Gypsy

[Revolte]

Rag doll gypsy
tossed and needle pricked
how far have you come
to be nowhere at all.
Blinded with cross eyes
and silent stitched mouth
why is it you shake
with the words of your call?
Untouched by earth
you float with the stars
to the moon with your wife
past the fear of the fall.
But sutures come loose
and for you this holds true
like unsteady rhymes
you fade when you stall.

One of your better ones, R. I love the way the image of a rag doll is used to suggest somone fallen on hard times. But I took it to refer to a young girl, perhaps - so was confused by these lines

you float with the stars
to the moon with your wife

I love it very much though I too was wondering about "your wife".

[Revolte]

haha thank you very much! The rag doll is in fact a man.

[Doralace]

aha! but how could one know...

I really like it, specially ''Blinded with cross eyes
and silent stitched mouth''
