a beginning

somewhere
at the highest point of a rusty Ferris wheel, under a dream-coloured sky
I open a palm and breathe out to send spiralling down
a feathery seed, a strand of hair, a tiny spider

some story I keep reaching for, that dances the same way,
its long journey to the ground, speaking of all things impossible
between people, from eye to eye,
from mouths and lungs
as whispers to the ear
almost touching
