Momentum

Gathered in a silent warehouse,

Banking off of subtlety,

Building thrust on borrowed feet

To stand, to walk, to jog, to run.

 

Sprouting wings as if to fly on

Whiffs of light angelic air,

Climbing to the jet stream where

Her boundless energy can ride.

 

Now the flow cannot be quelled.

Now the air can only bend

Concentric circles one on one

To wrap around, around again.

 

Trapped inside this angry vortex,

Miles and miles from hearth and home,

Seeking merciful protection,

Waiting for the rage to end.
