Dark Circus

In my dreams

you wait for me

in dark, secret places,

welcoming me

to the midnight circus.

The Ring Master bows;

the show begins.

“In the center ring we have…”

I smell

sawdust and dung and cotton candy.

Then the Ring Master asks

for a volunteer,

and I realize

I’m being shot from the cannon.
