Whirling

Number 158

May 31, 2001

Are those devils or dervishes dancing on my wingtips?
I can't deny a certain…
     Beauty…
To it all;

Grace is not found in riveted
Planes of steel–
Even the birds register disapproval,
But perhaps its in a lonely red dot
Awash amidst gray and white,
Or maybe, yes, certainly
In the majesty of suspension while
Earth rolls 'round and 'round.
