Limelight

Freeze me, no air, only limelight.
Kite on weak string,
Fearless, rising.
Swing me, wide arcs, deep glide, turquoise.

Noise, deaf Zephyr’s sparkle carpet—
Wet skin waiting, endless eyeblink.

Sink me, no air, only limelight.

The rotation spirals—the Mobius cadence,
Colliding in crystal, combining the senses.
Letting go and holding on,
Letting go and holding on,
Letting go and holding on,
Letting go and holding on,

See me floating in the limelight—
White as winter, real and unreal.
Feel this beauty is forever.

Blur the edges, turn me over.
I’m a nomad, searching snowblind.
Find me—not here—only limelight.
