I keep having visions of a trapeze artist
unwinding in that spiraling motion, parallel to the ground
suspended, horizontal, in the air, and rolling over her weight
as the fabric unwraps

This kind of controlled chaos
as she twirls with the grace of a fearless master
letting momentum run its course
only to catch herself at that final moment

I'm a little wound up
and a bit of an acrobat
but I don't know about that
