whirlwind, or andromeda’s gaze
I am in the whirlwind
And a whirlwind resides within
A flurry of activity
Breeze that surrounds me
Shuffles hair on my forehead
Drifts spray off the fountain
Uplifts leaves, detritus, dead grass
Soft caress of the whirling dervish
On silver temples
Flutter by wingtips
Swept up in the vortex
Because why wouldn’t a Bird
Take a free ascent
Eye of the maelstrom
Soul's exhalation
Breath of life
Dream of dying
Hope for a sighing thing
Left adrift
Won't let me go
Not that I'm trying to escape
Because I've surrendered
Met my match
In the desert
Sensations so strange
Blossoming as we are
Beneath Andromeda's gaze
Fate's once damned, now fairest
How do i deserve this?
