Carnivals of lust
Float down Main street Lovers feasting on frenzied flesh Spin wildly round And round Carousels of debauchery Ancient animals Carved and twisted In worm-rotted wood Spin madly Mirrors Light Reflecting Inner madness With colors and sight Fortune tellers Wearing encrusted faded Plastic jewels In their crowns Like a dirty sunset Smeared painted Clowns dance naked Carrying smudged Tired balloons Ferris wheeling across the smut Filled sky Dirt covered tents faded In dust Reeking of sticky cotton candy Faked pink creating a delusion Of lust and fantasy Smells of dust sweat Aged popcorn Dull dried Vendors plying Wares – Caveat emptor! Sun-reflected chariots Brightly painted in Unknown dialects Rolling slowly onward Playing ancient Calliope melodies Hallowed tunes beckon Pipes whisper “Draw near, See clear” Taste exotic sweets Smell the sawdust Feel streams of heat Reflecting an oasis Turning like a creaky Brilliant Ferris wheel. Mindless delusions Slowing churning sour Lonely parallels winding Amaze of patterns In my brain Empty sockets stare Etched in permanent nightmare Restless, timeless wandering slaves Beaten to the ground In stoned glass caves. Seal your heart with iron doors Rusted tight with all your tears (c) 2021 DdM |
