Baseballs

He does what I have yearned to do as well
So easily you know it flows with the arc
of baseballs in a mid-flight-from-outfield
-to-second-base-and-home-plate-night-game

Smouldering moon over fallen black embers
Rising in corkscrew red-gold rhythms

So easily the smack of distant leather
The eyes of past lives squinted shut and
forward eyes seized by the moment, merge
in the slur of motion ball-to-glove to escape velo...

Peanuts, beer and hotdog vendors shouting—
urging with every screaming throat
Out! You buncha losers! C'mon cmon cmon! Safe!
—Look up and brush off the decision
