When I was young the silk
 of my mind
 hard as a peony head
 unfurled
 and wind bloomed the parachute:
The air-head tugged me
 up,
 tore my roots loose and drove
 high, so high
I want to touch down now
 and taste the ground
 I want to take in
 my silk
 and ask where I am
 before it is too late to know
