Carnival



I am a fragile beast
of the worst kind.
I use my fingers to
count atrocities
waged by me.
Judge, jury and prison
are the same small space
that contains a world.
At one time, a carnival,
glittering with wonders
and delights, has left
nothing behind but
the refuse of thousands.
The remnants of discarded
joy occupy this space,
now devoid of hope.
