3003: Spring Journal

watercolour of fair grounds

She Walks the Fair

She walks the fair,

a carousel’s brass music
tugging at her sleeve,

buys a daffodil
from a man with kind hands,

watches a child spin
until the world goes loose.

The scent of frying dough,
cinnamon and sugar,
the squeak of a wheel,

a stranger’s laugh
that sounds like her own.

She carries a paper cone
of warm almonds as

spring holds her gently,
and she lets it.
