Poetry

Basketball

by Loris Gschwind

Bam

Bam, bam

Jumps in the air, bounces on the ground
You touch the net
As I try to steer you in the right direction

As soon as I can I go out with you,
With the tip of my fingers
I always want to caress you,

Your texture is so intoxicating
That a few days seem eternal without you
Whether you’re orange or brown

Your scent of leather reminds me memories
Whether it’s victories, losses, happiness, injuries,
But you will always be in my heart

Bam, bam

Bam
