Cyclical Reformations from the Day After: Carousel
Carousel
Created in tandem,
she posts high
and I rail down –
a fixed gallop
dancing on ferry ground.
Her mane gleans of tulip,
and her masked face
without lines and enameled
remains aside my constant pace.
Each poled at the center,
elevated from platform brown
yet open to stars and wind
enveloped with sweet and joyous sounds.
Still (to each) we are boundless,
though children young and old
straddle us for fun and frolic
imagining their lives so told.
The mechanics of our union,
concealed with painted facade,
all controlled by a single lever
starting and stopping –
a mortal collage.
Our love seems then like a ticket;
presented for collection,
sometimes torn when redeemed,
only then embarking
for that already seen.
And often I site at our far side,
undetectable with her single glare,
that overalled hand of fate
operating expressionless –
as one does stare.
So wonder I must,
as tent tops fold and wheels roll,
how to keep her with me
when our days to turn are sold.
