Moments of motherhood

Astronaut


Rotating with no axis,
unfurled tether
keeping you in place.

The atmosphere around you
unbreathable,
so air comes to you.

Extraterrestrial glow
illuminating
the dimness

As you spin and twirl,
no upside down
or right side up,

Weightless,
waiting,
your hand before
your face

Waving to Earth.
