A contemplative poem about love by David Tombale: Carousel

Carousel is essentially about treasuring the things that matter to you.

Carousel


I like to dream at night of the
fine black color of your hair,
the way you’d write me from
the farthest corners of our balcony,
of the sighing sound you’d make
when my fingers would tease the
ample contours of your hips and
I have sat you down and haven’t
found flaw enough to leave us
broken, to leave us strung out and
forgotten like polaroids and the
silence around that old carousel still
turning in the park, the swings fall
creaking to the ground, another signal
that will not let me down.
