On lonely nights
the quiet carrousel, dances up and down
horses, full of muscle
gentle
waiting for children to circle
around and around
under lights
that dim
into circles
of empty
space.

The carrousel, an excellent symbol of surreal loneliness. It’s a disconnected world till you bring people into the scene. Then the carrousel become background to what is real.
