Fly

I feel like incorporating both dancing and acrobatics.

I feel the wind at my feet,

I feel the ground at my fingertips,

And as I twist into a handspring,

My arm gives way,

To the unforgiving test of gravity.

//

My foot catches my falling body

And I kick into a B-Twist

As my bandages tear.

//

I tear rolls by as the pain spreads,

From the six-step,

To the flare,

And into the moonwalk.

//

With one last jump,

I fly,

And I collapse

With a grin.
