Carnival

Ferris wheel revolves
velocity and glow,
a kaleidoscopic adventure

and screams of glee
heard ‘round the grounds
duets with the singing carousel

which spins
to horse’s gallop
toward the house of mirrors

reflecting
shadowy silhouettes
of our clandestine embrace.

Dozens of you
touching me
hundred of times.
