Akimbo
Oscillating with arm akimbo
We are intertwined at the elbow,
Spinning like a whirlygig
Arm and arm we
Spiral in shades of blue
Peacock, spruce and arctic
I am part frosted rose and taffy
Hoops of waxen lace and thread.
We are held tightly in tandem
With brightly colored string
Forming tendons - tense, achy, and vital
I turn towards you
I turn away
I am double
Adjoined akimbo
