Track Sports Binding Spell

June 19, 2023 poem unrhymed

Terry Trowbridge’s poems have appeared in many publications, and Terry is grateful to the Ontario Arts Council for his first writing grant, and their support of so many other writers during the polycrisis.

My shoelace is strong:
earthworm tensile and tied tightly
for foot fusion fastness.

Now I can hop again
without tripping, flopping, faltering.
Shod snugly as horses,
knots over nails, strong as clamping iron.
