perfect circle

 

[[ this should be recorded by Toyah and Robert ]]

there is no perfect
circle on the ice

these dusty skates
are hand-me-downs

from aunts and cousins
screwed and glued

and passed on
to the next girl

in the clan who's
grown enough to wobble

out uncertainly
with these dull blades

on ice and scream
back in the arms

of gravity and live
to tell her sister
