Rugby

Poetry Standing in the line, watching the hue and cry, the fight for the ball, sweat, heat, grunting  shouting Whistle hovering on the face of the overweight ref, shakily held in his hand erupting from the chaos of bodies, moves haphazardly out of into my hands 2 people in front, and the line so its route 1 through both try satisfaction

Step

 A Step Lifts his foot, feeling the pressure go, the air catch, the surface underneath, not even,  catches against the heel, forcing the foot to level onto the floor moves the body forward, and the other foot patterned, metronomic focused

Waking

 silence Its quiet this morning, no cars, nothing to break the stillness, the birds softly call to each other, seemingly unperturbed by the otherwise still morning Call and retort,  Call and amplify pigeons, robins, starlings, tits, rooks and insects vying for the silence to express Sitting, I experience this silence physically and emotionally and it isn't vying for space with the noise in my head where darkness swirls in a whirlpool of thought, experience, joy and pain I can feel it on my skin, this crisp quiet morning even the misty sunrise doesn't disturb it is embraces it

Cycle

 Breathe Cool air, skin prickles as it flows through eddies around my face chest expands and fills with coolness nourishing  sustaining Distant worlds, distant people feel it differently ? Breathe liquid ?  don't breathe ? Maybe absorb throughout  and breathe out, warm now nourishing for plants now

Futures past, past inflexions

 Farewell Goodbye, oh future and past, and futures past, as it winds its way, stretching across the age reflecting back and hinting ahead myriad of potentials snuffed out by each choice, and opened by the other only the fixed past is fixed, but not all of the past if fixed, until inflexion never beyond and forward, never further than the life string permits at times minutes, at other times  days at most years but farewell to those threads of possibilities, untold futures now ended
 Whisper it softly, into my ear your deepest dreams, the things you haven't told anyone Be nakedly exposed trust me that I will protect them, you for all time Heart beats,  slowly as your lips touch, air softly catches the skin, and the words whisper toward me "to be loved without reservation " Turning towards the ear nearest "always"  I whispered back knowing my soul was entwined forever with hers no matter the future
