Sugar Gliding
Overhead
In the nocturnal rainforest
A possum-like creature
Performs aerial displays.
Dramatic,
Acrobatic,
A tight-rope walker,
Concentrating power
In its legs,
Launching into flight,
Opening wings of skin,
Stretching legs wide,
Relaxing into glide,
Throwing back its head,
Straightening its legs,
Releasing its claws,
Gripping tight,
Preparing
For its next flight.
