“Rivals”
Best of three, or five?
Game or weekly ritual?
Either way, we play.

Best of three, or five?
Game or weekly ritual?

Steve D
Pulling himself up,
running, flash before our eyes,
a first year flown by.
Steve D
Eyes closed to the sun,
blinding heat, refreshing cool.
Lost in ebb and flow.
Steve D
Underwater rinse,
Melt away sweat, stress, fatigue.
Ice bath to float in.
Steve D
Main streets down the block,
shops lit like they want you in,
no burned out row homes.
Steve D
Tiger prowls the ledge.
Yellow eyes scan hungrily.
Few inches away.
Steve D
Sandy dune beaches,
towering fir, pine, maple,
a strange wilderness.
Steve D
Green foliage rustles.
Clear sky like glowing sapphire.
Vibrant morning hues.
Steve D
Clear forest vista,
Chorus of chainsaws and chops,
and family time.
Steve D
Pervasive tension.
Already over the brink.
Waiting for impact.
