Mirror Ball Awnings Poem by Mark Heathcote

Mirror Ball Awnings



It's as if gravity were just a joke
narrowly swinging on a silken rope
tiptoeing on the air, she's all sewn up.
It's as if she's walking on the moon
or dancing around a spinning loom.

Her egg sac of young is ready to erupt.
High wire breaking from their trapeze yolk
it's mesmerizing to watch, but I balk-
away from any form of hand-touching
as I watch in wonder her brood hatching….
