GAME DAY


Riding,

on a bench of existence

Waiting,

in and out of sight

Praying,

the coach will put me in

Afraid,

he might

 

Testing,

self effacing efforts

with a broad stroke brush

Painting,

a scene for public consumption

and critique

 

Anticipation

Agitation

Deep down

No, deeper still

In a place as dark

as black hole’s night

Raw nerves flutter

coveys of synapse butterflies,

taking flight

 

Readied

for first contact strike,

I am born
