Albatross

Inhale.

Deeply.

Not like that. Let the stomach rise. Keep the chest still. Now sway.

Move your weight. Really, move it. Commit your weight. Loosen up. Sway.

That's it. Lean. Turn. Sigh. Fall. Be caught.

Fingers interlace, hands clasp. But no one is there. You're holding yourself, nobody else. It's good to be there for oneself.

Entangle, disentangle. Push away. Tension in the muscles, almost tetanus. What was that you were supposed to remember about torque?

Nevermind, the song's over.
