Spiral

Twisting and turning,
Falling and swinging,
Trying and fighting
To stop the bleeding;

Running and chasing,
Grasping and missing,
Winning and losing,
And faintly grimacing;

Walking and waiting,
Ignoring and stopping,
Flouting and flailing,
Living and dying;

Twisting and turning,
Spinning and falling--

And going nowhere at all.
