Will you write the poem
That brushes me back?
That chases me
To the warning track?
|
The verse that comes at me
With spikes flying high?
That blinds with the
Glare of a sun-filled sky?
|
Will your words flow
With a shortstop's ease,
Then stop my breath
Like a suicide squeeze?
|
Will your poem smack
Like a fist in the glove?
Will it quicken the heart
Like the game I love?
