That makes sense now. I've never been a film goer, and found horror
books a bit of a yawn so I've not had that kind of influence.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Hi Will,
To my ears the form and instrumentation are reminiscent of music for a
carousel or carnival. In my psyche (admittedly influenced by 'way too
many horror and sf books & movies from the 50s and 60s) there's
something inherently surreal or even menacing about such things and
events. Perhaps it's a cultural conditioning ?
Best,

I must be perverse. As I listened to this (very fine) tune I kept
thinking about the horror movie "Carnival Of Souls"...
Thanks Dave, although I find it slightly disturbing that you sensed
something not entirely happy in the tune. You're actually one of three
people who have said that, and I can't for the life of me understand how
that should come about.
