Ice Hockey

(revised)


They're painters on skates

who brush and dab  a cold canvas

they whirl and glide on.


They're sleep-walkers

in pajamas, wandering

on a bright dream's stage--

everyone else in darkness,

looking on, transfixed.


Hornets and wasps

in snarling squads,

swarm out of the nest--

sent mad by one

black fly gliding among

them, a dark dot

playing dead, then jetting off.
