Consolation

I met an ogre on the Merry Go Round
Merry-Go
Merry Go
Round
Go-Round

Long after Merry-Go-Round time

In the dusty light and iron air
He spoke

"I ate a child today.
And I worry that tomorrow there will be none."

I answered

"I broke a heart today
And tomorrow I worry I will have no love."

He said

"A heart is meant to be broken
New love is born everyday."

So i consoled him

"There will be more children
New ones are made every day."
