Hamstringed
Somewhere between rounding third
And sliding into home
I’m hamstringed
I stop
I fall
I decide
I’ll not be tagged
There in the middle-ground
Could I crawl back and recover?
Counting on my brother’s full count
His double
Sweet time
His home run hit
Sweet savior
Instead I stand again
A fool, for certain
A rocket gone awry, we’ll see
But to the delight of the crowd
I seek home
Sheer
Yes and I did not sleep warm last night
While each sentence you speak thinks now it holds leverage with my sleepy senses
In fact it holds none
My muddled thoughts aren’t muddled at all
They are determined
To not be
Taken
Advantage
Of
So I can clearly tell this
I love who I see
A weakness of mine I’d not trade as a weaker one would
Though I marvel at the back
And forth
I don’t tire
It is why you still stand
Fire-Walkers: A Haiku
My Beloved Son
One mismatched mile
One checkered step
And the next
Then however hundreds more
Add the many thousands until
There you find her
Lightning and leather
Turn her soft shoulders gently West
Take off her sunglasses
Hand her the keys
Ask her again
Put your foot down
And drive I say
This Haiku: Spinning Standing
This Haiku: Might, See The Sun
This Haiku: The Path I See
They are asleep now
A whisper will have to do
…all I need’s not true
