badminton is a game of contrasts   birdie

feather light

racket   sirocco fierce   

you   my friend   play it well   no volley 

going unmet   for that

gratitude   

i come away

spent   satisfied   

~

set aside your racket   

friend

save relentlessness   for another day   

let us away   to greenery

to stroll   to whisper loud

`
