Finality Is A Season
         Some float down
as if from heaven, twirling,
mating with the air, bouncing
on the invisible mattress, slow
spin back and forth to meet
a calm green scene fading,
present to onlookers like me.
         Some tumble through
like wild gymnasts frolicking,
colliding with hard earth, dancing
about obstacles on their course, hyper
join a swarm of mates to meet
a village of cloistered inhabitants fading,
appear before bystanders like me.
         Some take their time,
as if mother won't let them mature, hanging
lonely, a child absent after recess crying
for a purpose in this late season, fear
natural selection to pluck them from despair, cloy
for her arm, hide in her nest, never to meet
true heaven on earth, feed sorrowful eyes of witnesses like me
         who long to join you,
and you, or you, but serve
this perch by the window, now
or for eternity. A dull heart fears
go out to play, as if some final day leaves,
in life viewed this way.

Cued up a song, thinking I'd blog about a basketball life at the YMCA and was disturbed by other thoughts, also cued up and ready to roll.
