The way home
Silence
The delicate language of sports
The action occasions silence and
periodic utterance, your analysis topping
that of the experts.
As always there is theory to consider,
one’s own team
and injury,
Saturday’s opponent,
the coach’s strategy…
All of this really is
about this,
though hearts step up to speak it.
For Kevin Cooley
And for Pieter
Hurry, it’s cold, it’s wet cold
Bakery girl,
what will rid us of your sadness?
You’ve carried it and still,
and I as well,
as bells have tolled
and dusks have walled
alleys away in silence.
P is for Parkinson
Gracious the meadow
between thought and utterance:
would that we both dared linger!
But some thing bored
mandates completion; hence we stand
impatient with flowers.
Why hurry our fears onward to death?
Let’s stay in this place
we’ve both never been.
Silence is a pocket
In the air
it’s where
I keep my money
