Never did cartwheels

I never did cartwheels as a kid.

Too afraid to graze my hands or bang

my head on the ground. Wouldn’t even

try it on grass. And now here you are,


buggering up your neatly combed fringe

by tumbling around on the carpet.

Showing me how brave I must’ve been

to let you turn my world upside down.
