her first love
a clockmaker
in a forgotten
teacup.
her second love
she abandoned
in the topmost car
of a ferris wheel.
her third love
an eyeless
thief
who once emptied
the coins
from his hat
onto the counter
of a small balloon
shop.
her fourth love
left sugar
on her back, and a hook
breathing
under the coat
of her fifth.
