Cycling me

A poem on my new reality

By Lane BurnsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Spinning round and round,

Across the stage.

I feel like wind on summers eve.

Unlocking something deep in me.

Seeing who I can be.

A shine surface begs my eye,

Turning me around in a lie.

Plumb and round,

Feeling like a whale underground.

And if that wasn’t enough,

This body betrays,

And wind I am no more.

Instead, I’ve become like and angry cloud

With hail forming and popping out.

Storming, raging, panting in pain

And hoping for someone to call my name.

Call it loud and clear

Like smooth spring rain.

Encircling around

To support the ever lasting cycle

Of my body and brain.
