A circus clown from County Down
She’s buried wearing her red plastic nose

Clumsily tripping, over our own feet
Sometimes, minds aren't meant to meet
perhaps we're off just a micro beat
thoughts obscured, behind glass covered in sleet

Furious body language here;
Small tigers draw blood

Ancient atmosphere
Old tea house...
