Salmon Poetry
older
Marie Cadden
there comes a point
when the exquisite
pirouette
of the spinning-top
shudders
towards a wild
last thrash
a point
spinning on a pin
of sweet impermanence
humming
to the very pivot
of itself
holding
the moment
before
the relentless
wobble
from which
there is no return
Poem from Gynaecologist in the Jacuzzi
Marie Cadden reads her poem "Older" from Gynaecologist in the Jacuzzi (Salmon, 2016)
