a get well spell for Richard James Allen

 

come out of a spin

a get well spell for Richard James Allen

 

let the head still

just the world around

it was always spinning

who knew?

 

I hate it most when the walls go

when the floor falls away

heave ho

 

nobody else is aware

how we’re bung

like a wire went somewhere

 

we’re out on the spiral arm

it’s just the universe expanding

 

it’s just like the breeze

to turn a few leaves

 

let the head still

just the world around

it was always spinning

who knew?

 

we’re so many pages

far in the book

don’t look

but someone can read you a story

 

no sudden moves

no ping

smooth the pillow

 

it rings the ears to show

you have to learn

to bank with the bends

 

you have to lean

on a wave

as it goes

 

a warning to us all

that even one so tuned

has such messages sent

 

I speak on behalf

of all island creatures

 

we wish you great stillness today
