Backspin – Written Saturday 3rd September 2023 (Aged 48)

Backspin

there is backspin
on –
the words –
bowled down the alleyway
the passage –
beyond my stars
and here i am,
just cradling my sugar cast
on,
on we go –
alien worlds striving together
like fairy-lights –
on a thirty-somethings’ relationship

there is backspin
on –
the words delivered –
as they tumble down –
my runway
with pots and pans –
that cause such delay
i am captivated by a home run
and letters –
so beautifully spun
caught as i am in the window dressing
of being so young
on,
on we go –
making virtual statues
in such capitalist abstract snow

James Garratt – Saturday 2nd September 2023
