Poem from:
Gynaecologist in the Jacuzzi by Marie Cadden


older
Cadden, Marie
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 |
