The wasp and the sting

of a gulf swing

The wasp and the sting
Share

The wooden headed club

arched

like a scorpion’s warning

‘Beware something’s coming’

The hand’s pull

The wooden head swoops

The arch of the club circles

fast as a wasp’s wing -

then, Sting!

The ball is on the wing

and the all is in the offing

and the truth is where it lands.
