Play (in the) Ground

Play (in the) Ground

Another day invites me,

my hand seized

with life-wrenching

celerity

wrist is encapsulated

like the grasp of children on a playground

their bantam hands gripping

the swings

they clutch chains like 

their last breath

the monkey bars

as they hang,

Established

by their own strength

or lack there of

brown mulch

muffling their falls

so they are

preserved

granted the privilege 

of more time being swallowed,

Frivolously 

they skip 

and saunter,

awaiting their next

Collapse

I love finding artwork from different artists that best fit my poems and responding to artwork and creating ekphrastic poems. Please support all the artists gracious enough to permit me to use their works. (All of my poems fall under the copy right fair use law). Instagram: @j.h.lynn Twitter: @sftpoesy
