Carnivale Doll

The porcelain doll
Sits perfectly
Out of place
Blank stare staring
As if she were waiting
For another travelling show

Maritime compass
Miniature beer stein
Unframed picture
Bent
Curling around the edges
A gaggle of
Collectibles
Sitting down below

She sits in her corner
Free from dust
Taller than the rest
Winning the top shelf
Only because
There was no other place
To put her

Expressionless face
Feet cocked to the side
Flouncy
Puffy
Golden satin pant suit
Instead of a pink
Flowery dress
Made of lace

In her top shelf corner
Eyes
Trained on the door.
