"Pierrot"

Carnival

masks
fiction or reality
streamers
as spaghetti colored paper
are fun
snow confetti
jokes from morning to night
screams that they fill the void
tearing the silence
and dances to drive out boredom
and tears
swallowing in secret
covered by the veil from the east
and the knot in my throat disciogli
is Carnival!
