cutter
never could throw
a cutter. split finger
erupted. from my palm
with barely a direction.
it went looking. turning
sideways sweeping sphere.
mowing through swings.
enough to be a machete.
maybe.

Beautiful sounds in the poem. Haunting.
Love it! Always looking for more baseball poetry.
Interesting that this is the second poem today with the same title. The other one also mentions a machete. And yet they’re totally different poems. A strange coincidence!
Hot damn I love your work
Mariano Rivera would love this!
What I love most about your poetry, man, is the way I can HEAR you reading it. After only one time seeing you read at Holler, years ago.
Sharp as ever.
