Ritual of the game



Rubbing Mud

Split finger fastball
Slider
Changeup

Knuckleball
Curve
Sinker
Eephus

leave the hand empty  
haunted by the ghost of the seam
conspiracy of finger tips to stitching

instantly evaporating  
bearing down a bore hole
shouldering aside snagging air  

taste of river mud
lingering sweet on the tongue
settling out, nuggets we hold dear in our fist.
