Catch

It's the electric impact
travelling up your arm,

the shock in the sweet
spot, just below

the third knuckle
in your palm.

It's your dad
smiling, not because

he's throwing the ball
to you, but because

you
are throwing it back.

It's always a pleasure when I visit (so seldom these days) to read your gems Dan.
Always something refreshing and often nostalgic.
