He loops around the rink, breath misted. The same chilled air that was deemed safer for a child’s lungs. He recalls his mother’s frown, the crease between her brows. Let’s get him moving, she has said. Maybe it will help. Maybe what a breathless child needs is to become one with the wind.

Summary
When you finish you collapse on your ending pose, gasping. You inhale gulp after gulp of air but nothing reaches your lungs. It feels like an asthma attack. It feels like dying. There is fire in your throat, your chest, your fingertips. Every part of you prickles from an aftershock as though you have just survived a bolt of lightning. You feel alive.
Or: a meditation on 2019/2020 season.
