You’re not alone
In this strange world—
So convoluted,
And twisted up.
Untangle here
In my arms.
It’s alright.
And, yes, tomorrow
The earth will turn.
It will look like the sun
Is coming up,
But,
It’s not.
It’s just that the earth
Is still spinning, after all—
Making us dizzier
And more tangled up.
But a tangled tango can be fun!
And dancing can sometimes amazingly
Untangle everything else.

Excellent poem Jenn; the imagery is dramatic and engaging. I like how the final stanza puts a new spin on the piece by adding a touch of whimsy and optimism. This could work well as a spoken word piece too.
