Tying the string around my finger I thought about astronauts
How it would be to float
From the top knuckle above it became a nebula pink
then cosmos purple
I did the same to all my fingers
except my thumbs
and tried to touch everything I could
but couldn't feel for the numbness in each finger
I thought about how this must be how astronauts feel
close but very far away, with everything new
I turned a bottle cap in my engorged fingers
I twiddled a quarter across a knuckle
And still I didn't feel it all
When I broke the knots
I wondered when the feeling would come back
