Clown At the Abyss

Come one! Come all! It’s showtime all the time! More glamorous than all fantasies told; tip of the tongue or the hand of a mime! The circus has something for young and old! The big top filled with families and friends. Horrors deep within peeking through showmen. Painted on expression; an evil blends. A monster inside disguised with a grin. He draws children in with his silliness and sends them all away with a balloon. Enthralled by the blade he gives it a press. Did I tell you I’d be seeing you soon? Cackling he offers, to the wound; a kiss. Nightmarish is a clown at the abyss.
