✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
The Carnival arrives where maps cannot reach,
in nights that fold, twist, and bleed.
✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶
Velvet tents writhe like broken spines,
lanterns drip wax the color of old blood,
mirrors smile with teeth you cannot unsee.
✺✹✺✹✺✹✺✹✺✹✺✹
Every laugh is a blade. Every step is a choice
you never made. Music coils beneath your skin,
threading ribs with invisible strings.
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
The Ringmaster watches from nowhere.
They hum in shadows, velvet coat brushing ash.
They choose you. They do not care if you leave whole.
✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶✵✶
Tents pulse. Mirrors bite. Candles bleed. Laughter claws at your chest.
Step closer, and the Carnival will remember you
long after you forget yourself.
✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
"No strings," they whisper-but the strings
are already inside your veins.
