Acrobatic
Marilyn Buck
[This poem is read by Fanny Howe. 
]
an acrobat
I slice through the sky
somersault
swing toward hands
they slip
disappear
free
i fall
no net
i fall
caught
by lime-scented dirt
bones quake
sigh — articulate
rebound
piano wires
sing with my weight
a moon jumper
I rise
through sorrow’s fog
a lightning bug
