Writing With Abandon

Reflections and ramblings about life as an educator, writer, reader, knitter, and over-thinker. Trying to do the writing only I can do.

  • Epley Maneuver

    My head at 45 degrees to the right
    I fell back against the cushion
    and watched the classroom spin around me
     
    It’s day 6 of this newly-acquired vertigo
    and I now believe it’s worse
    than any other sickness I’ve encountered
     
    Room    shifting
           tilting
    my hand reaching out against a wall
    to steady me
     
    I laid there with my head back
    imagined the crystals
             falling
    into place
    one    after    another
     
    Wondered
    why we have crystals
    in our damn ears
    at all?
