It’s up or down, so many steps
usually not many, could be
any direction.
Sometimes you can see
the wheel turn
at the periphery of your eyes
but you just keep stepping
off and on,
before the wheel turns again.
Fortuna’s laughter
choreographs your movements
until you think
this is the moment to step free.
You reach out for the Divine
and pull back a hand
grasping only scrap of paper
that turns to ashes
before you can read it.
Apparently you lack faith
in anything but the circular,
so embrace the wheel once more,
Hi Ho Silver and away!
