spinning, at least for now

tell me how you're seeing your world,

and i'll tell you how i see mine,

right now

.

it's spinning - good spinning, not bad -

like a

dancer spun away from their partner,

knowing they have something to come back to

(i just don't know what yet)

,

isn't that the excitement of it all?

that i can spin and not know

the next movement, but i don't have to, yet

.

metaphors - can't you taste them -

i want to picture it all, want to

travel somewhere with just the thought,

thinking

that maybe the next steps of the dance won't be so scary

,

even when i look back

.

mirrors and paper mache, is what i feel like,

right now

.

like if a door was opened i'd get sucked through

the vortex without a second thought,

maybe

that's not such a bad thing

.

so, yes, i'm spinning, if you're wondering

,

good spinning, not bad.

just the swirling of lights like chandelier-dropped stars

until something catches hold of me,

eventually

,

we'll see

.
