surge up the clouds, feel the wind speed
which whisk on your sensitive tawny peel
bring yourself to the fore, see the maneuvering
arm of your master, only a twine holds
your sovereignty to be at the uppermost
as the law of gravity would say, what goes
up must come down....no sooner than you think
you’ll be back on the ground, tattered, useless, airless
