they dance a flitting
butterfly, weaving
behind smokescreen and
twisted mirror

grotesque, sometimes
sometimes
an eye or a cheek or a heart
too big, sometimes.

frosted glass sunlight and
noonday shadow, silhouetted
leanness against half-shuttered eye-
is your soul small enough to
hide?

the carousel is squawking its
mechanical gaeity- come on,
they're playing your song! i
even know the words, you can

spin into the
smudged paint and stained
tablecloths of your escape. it's
all right, now,

i know you don't see me
