Vertigo

The fiber of me
drawn into their sweep
up
away
and back again

my breath and bone
fused into wing

vertigo

when the doves
are circling.

Speaking of spinning Maureen, my head is spinning with this one. I love the transition lines of becoming bird like. Wonderfully written Maureen. Thank you.
