girl interrupted

perhaps she chose to stay
in lower gear when the world around
decided to accelerate and fast
let it be felt by chosen ones.

and then it happened
that her inside world asked for rest
a complete stop since it couldn't follow
the world outside

her vision of the objects blurred
by too much speed
that's all that happened
she could not follow the outside world

every now and then
and every day and night
she could again focus her mind's eye
into one spot, into one moment

before she fell into vertigo spell.
she had to learn to hold and play in hand
a warm thin hand a fragile world - her own
and had to learn (again) to share her world

to not be hurt by interruptions
(be them brutal) to be cured
then was allowed to step back in
the never to be interrupted spin.
