The twirlly bits are most
thrilling
And frightening.
In a flash
I lose my sense of self
Of balance
Of adult hood
No longer the grown-up
I throw myself
Into the air
Hoping to end
Up-right
But happy just to do it
The beat
The beat
Dance on the beat.
Dance on the head of a pin.
Angels watch me
Laughing
Dancing together
Again.
