hands in the air,

wind whistles through open fingertips

in the night bustling of spectators


their dresses are lace, satin, chiffon

of maroon and black.

they are the dreaded circus-goers

going round and round

 

the large pointed tents

blinking orbs of red and white light

prolonging the stares of dizziness


their shoes shuffle against the ground,

waiting, heels digging into the soil

wafts of popcorn and vinegar

sprout from the open ground


they keep their silent poise

until the carousel stops spinning.
