being

tumbling through swirlies
the trees bend, the leaves skate
flailing flailing,
thrashing
and up and down
and now here.
whistling whistling.

faster faster
and without control ...
sideways and around
useless.
unless, unless
the harder i try
the lesser i can.
let go, let go.

forever beneath
this treacherous life
shifting, changing
here to there
and back and over.
but un-trusted
till now.
whistle, let go.
i live. alive.
