PETER TROUT

Swinging my love off the front toe on bent knees into the rough

Sending a prayer through a thicket, a mess, clasped hands, depression, a bosom, a lip, and beyond

Once again, I’ve gone too far and come up short

I can see what I’ve done

I can smell my hole in one

***

Drawing back in relatable exuberance while sky blue asters give into their own weight, and milkweeds dance behind scores of un-bonafide algae, casually trickling escaping floating dancing planning reading sinking and moving on
