Rugby poem from the perspective of the hooker (or 2) in a scrum.

As fingers plunge into my ribcage

-shirt rips, skin breaks-

The intention of their violent hold is mirrored by the faithful, blue sky.

Within the intimidating knot of bodies lies

a culture of solitude

Brief silence before the collision,

Where we still discover peace within the bind.

                        Crouch…

Touch…

                                                Pause…

                        ENGAGE.
