Facing North

[Semicircle]

Rocking back
and forth
Facing north
back 
and forth
back 
and forth.

Pinprick on my skin
simulates a grin
but not a smile
all the while
facing north
rocking back
and forth
back and
forth.

Belly up wails
bursting over rails
intestine cushion–
dreaming of north
rocking back 
and forth
back
and forth.

Take me sea
I'm a tiny flea
let me free
let me free.
