Face sideways, sideways;
dip and dive
suspended by your ankles.

Endless love, flying
between people, rhythm
in sides up against the
wall.

Superman had a large chest,
weak ankles could not
support, but have you
ever been sideways
between turns?

Air pressure, ankles, knees,
don't wander downwind:
glass curve and swell,
cupped hands of closed light.
