Grateful: Take the rind to go
I'll take the rind
My body has been my baseball bat
and I
have cracked it upon a ball,
many a time.
Despite my wish for self
destructions
it resurrects
every time.
You've got to be thankful for a shell so resilient
and I am
indebted beyond the cost.
I've got to be grateful for a husk full of promises,
despite
an inside,
deeply charred.
Here is my communion,
here is an uttered soul,
here are my two pence on the grateful shade -
this body is contrarily open.
It is a whole,
and is
the only thing I will take where ever I
am lucky enough
to go.

hoping your road leads to a more joyful somewhere...

" cracked it upon a ball" is a pretty good metaphor that could be interpreted a few different ways, all good
I like the subtleties of this poem. it has a certain pinash (<- ..not sure how to spell that ) which I think is under-used in this genre. also I think the title is pretty good too
sorry I've nothing constructive to give you, lady
fair play
