Miki Ando That Innocent Flower

.

                                       Spinning
                               as if out of control
                                          yet 
                                          not

                                       Around
                           and around and around 
                                    and around
                                 the flower spun
                                      pluming
                                 like the peacock
                                      yet still
                              that innocent flower
                                        spun
                              and with all beauty
                                        slid
                         and on the spheroid of ice
                         with a touching soft pause
                                    the flower
                                       bow'd
