Willow trees
Banana leaves
Shimmer a million
Schools of minnows
Glittering underbellies
In soft tepid breeze
Feverishly squirming
Hands wrists and arms
Rollercoasting snakes
From car windows

Pitch & Swing
poetryThe pitch:
lofts high,
dips low,
and hangs.
The swing:
precision words,
a comeback,
to cut like scythes.
The hit:
blood flushed,
incising enmity,
stranded on first.
the sieve and the sand
