the carousel

life is not a carousel.

although it feels it at times.
riding the fake
pretty horse

with a stiff mane. a glimmer
of false joy
in her eye.

but it's not real.
the whisper of song.
the kiss of spring,

the sweetness of summer wine.

it's a dizzying time
and the sooner you hop off

and leave that carnival world
behind,

the sooner your life
will find peace.
real love.
