Vitals

A Poem by Kristina Moulaison

The washing machine just moved my house.

One hundred year old studs

gyrate in circles

as my clothes spin,

and I am agape.

A tornado has shorn occupants

from their houses today.

Storage bins sit atop the open dollhouse

that was their life's work,

and I spin

1,042 miles per hour over Jupiter,

my brain intact, as yet,

despite the narrowing

statistical probabilities.

I am hovering

over an abyss

I cannot name

or revoke.

I am

spinning eternal

in stasis

over a vacuum

that waits-

hungry

for me.
