I See You Stranger

Short poem in admiration of youthful flexibility

I saw you swing the club
Willow slim in a white tee shirt
Your waist a handspan—-ok, two,
But still so slim
Your buckled belt
Needed another notch

Your legs? And crotch?
I cannot say—-
I only saw your waist
And that amazing wedge
Of shoulders,
Turning effortless

It caught my breath
Across the fairway
And these hands trembled
With remembering
Until I duffed my shot—-
You hit your ball
Into eternity.
