Love" Circus This sparkling crowd should warm her like the breath of the fire-eater. And though balloons flutter in the heights of the awning, it’s the circle of the tent that makes her face herself. This is Christmas she can no longer stand, sat in a shower of children resplendent in their chequered Sunday clothes, like the clowns they bellow at down their candy-floss. Who haul, from a box stage centre, stars that shiver in the artificial light. The funny man falls from the milk churn, exactly as planned, his loose tooth swings like a flap-door to let her out to a brittle night where the stars pull in their five points and the ponies are crushed against the bars of their cages. What do they know, she thinks, of looking good, of entertaining except food and a place to sleep? Maybe the winter coat she never got, a hand wiping smooth the dampness of their flanks, a coarse whisper of goodnight. Bending to pick at the sparse grass, the snowy earth beneath the sawdust is toughening - tomorrow she’ll chip away at the mirror-like splinters to tell her what she fears she already knows.
