FLUIDITY

Already posted before, but yesterday's news of the young US skater winning the gold reminded me of this.

Skating on the frozen stream

on this leaden winter's day.

Under clouded heights, over shrouded depths

Flowing over (f)rigidity

Flying on the station-airy

presently.

With its relics of the journey 

through the alluvial planes 

and fertilized fields of warmer days

these water-ways 

suspended 

beneath my briefly wing-ed feet,

deftly scratching the surface.

I, right now 

make the movement

I, right now

make the moment

I am 

liquid

a figure 8

a lemniscate 

a figure 8

Solitary, I dip and curve

looping 

Forward, backward

(side-to-side and back again)

I trip, and fall, 

and rise again,

doubled.

Whorled 

and whirling

on a crystal aspect of the deep
