The Last True Alchemist

 Wet puppet show automaton alchemy
Brain stewing needle feeding prodigy-
Anthropomorphic transubstantiation!

Split soul celestial mental projection
pulling the invisible strings of will-
Ancient Egyptian secret meditation
sending out the little things that kill-

The slit faced twisting Trickster-
The beautiful Succubus blood sucker-
The Blade, the Brawn, and the Drill-

Antique marionettes of cloth and steel
of cogs and wheels and clockwork gears
of potion fueled frames; of past life fears

Ghost of long dead puppeteers
Once attune to the merriment of children
Hungry hunters now; of hotel nightmares
Slaves to serve as playful weapons
