Baseball . . . Soon

Sure 'nuff baseball starts
fan world balanced on
a new season
by game beer brats

But the season-to-be
first pumped by fist
applause dismays
maybe applause again is

The moments the pitches
the at-bats & skewed recoveries
the brilliant plays or errors by inches
or a bunt called fair

Anticipate whatever
moments of small history
a baseball song
a long time April-October

Time & Rain

Time & rain wait for no one

(nor does this pun
or life-long love spun
on white dove wings
lifted to open sky)

but to remind
sometimes heart hand
& moment are destined
