Carnival

cotton candy
sticks
in yellow hair

brittle straw and manure
clings
to shoes

throw copper
pennies
on a red dish

win smiling
cupie doll with
silver, sequined tits

harlot walks
on 8 inch rainbow
platform heels

doll hangs over
boney shoulder
glistens in moonlight

in summer breeze
blue awning swings
over entrance to big tent

harlot
cupie doll
disappear in shadows
