I’m a carousel girl

I am a carousel girl
I pass by
swiftly
quietly
cat steps.
You might not notice.
I revolve around
circling in your thoughts.
My dreams reduced
Carnival, waltz and you.
I push
exert
fall
around you
looking like someone in love
in a white shirt and a red beret.
And I chase colors,
fairytales,
hands.
I played
You played
Time moved on
My address stamped.
20th July,
carnival evening, 6:30.
Yes, I still live there
mute
cat steps
stealthy.
I pass by.
I will pass by
one day.
But till then
Must I go round and round
and yet be fixated in one memory?
