a neat balance of the grip that pulls
and the calloused hands that push

around we go — the natural cohesion
holding us in place

our eyes accustomed to the motion
if we thought about it hard enough
perhaps we would turn inside out

our pinkish organs dangling
under their own weight

our bones desperately grasping
to scoop them up

deep inside us our skin
shrivelling and curling in on itself

the gentle wind hurting our kidneys
