Moving
the words spin off my toungue
louder louder
I see shaker women in grey dresses
bonnets
spinning spinning
in the field
secret smiles beamed to each other
secret circle keeping them save
the thoughts run around my skull
faster
hotter
chasing falling
and I can't finish
my heart pushes my blood
and I can feel the pumping
I can take in the oxygen
to keep us all
going
for now.
