UNTETHERED
I am girl on the moon
present
and accounted for
you even see me sometimes
half the time
but I lose footing
more often than I should
feel weightless
meaningless
not much holds me fast
keeps me in place
things come and things go
round and round
round and round
but I suppose we’re all spinning
these days
find ourselves on the dark side
watching for something to hold onto
