Circus Heart

By Chad Hollis

She was blessed with a
circus heart
and I ran away
to join her

With her big top eyes
and all those center ring
direct your attention, death defy
I was transfixed
and completely in love

the little clown car could not contain

I slept with
a belly full
of cotton candied coated apples
and sequined dreams

She was blessed with a
circus heart
and I ran away
to join her

But the clowns without their makeup
and the handlers of exotic creatures
had been up early
packing
loading
& leaving
