Dribble Net

A Want of Listen

So little, so small.

Hands spread, mouth wide.

They hear the cry.

Ears prick, heads incline decline.

Wonder sparks bright.

Affectation, a pure delight.

Nothing to compare captured in the light.

Stretch Balloon

Inching forward, a steady plod.

Compensation an aggregation.

More to listen, ease the terror.

Greater to be, a must.

Eager

What is held too long to hold.

From a place.

Grinding wheels.

Arrival beckons, friction slips.

Ghosting through a point of balance.

Scale tipped, choice delivered.
