Vertigo

Rocks in ears,
they call it, sounds
like musician's dream but
only ringing
remains. What it's not
is good – heart, stroke,
just annoying, not life-
threatening. Cheap
buzz requiring no
roller coaster, pirouette
or LSD. Getting up
will do. Evidence
that earth truly
spins.

  1. maybe the vertigo is just more poems 'rattling about in your head'. I love the way you make the serious light, as in Vertigo, and the light serious, as in Shrine.
