Dream in an Open-Air Market

Trinkets of fear, paintings of anxiety.
But! Family of joy and cobblestoned roads of curiosity.
River of intrigue.
Crowds of control, building, stifling.
Naiveté. French language, subliminally comprehensible.
Parents leaving. Me oblivious.
Stone corner of separatedness!
Awake, but crêpes of desperation!
