THE DEAD'S PLAYGROUND


THE DEAD’S PLAYGROUND
The Dead have taken over the playground,
where children once played.
The Dead wander
past the still swings
and empty slides.
Echoes follow in their path.
Of voices long gone.

THE CARNIVAL




The carnival calls to me.
Sounds of laughter
float to me in the distance.
I want to be there.
I want to be a child again
for one afternoon.
Go back in time when
life was enjoyed to its fullest.
I will dip my toes in the sand
and run to the carnival.
I will buy cotton candy and
eat it with sticky fingers.
I will ride the ferris wheel
until I am dizzy from the height.
Children are running to the rides.
I am one of them.
For this afternoon,
I am one of them.
