"Sometimes I Get Distracted"
for Philip Whalen
Throwing a ball
like a bridge
over an old wound
like a cape
thrown chivalrously
over incoherent muck.
Catching it
is easy.
"Now toss it back,"
says the Zen monk
standing in his garden
centuries away.
—Elaine Equi

| 4. Well, I thought we could use more poetry in here. |
|
And this one has been on my mind a lot recently.
All the other poems I've posted are in my journal, by the by, and new ones appear in the Lounge daily (hint, hint).
