the night circus lights the top of the trees and the darkening sky
and reaches out to hold your hand and take you to the funhouse
'we dreamt of this in our worst nightmares' pete said
and the fortune teller told him 'thats because we put it there'
her hand held out for an old five pound note

and around her wrist was
indecipherable script
we sat
on the damp seats of
the walzters
the ghost train
the funhouse
