LISTENING #818


















LISTENING #818

Ducking under the boundary rope
on skis promises
something like deliverance

Being just out of bounds
is an invitation

Icicles on the roof
outside my window
crystallize dedicated

side glances
clarifying wonder

And then, the photograph
with the frozen rope

mountain beauty
sun-stroked
snow-sculptured trees
dream-changing
old-school ticker-tape
invitation

Everything on this side
of the rope
also part of the invitation's
word to duck and go.
