Pitstop

Fireplace pigsty
Stopping home
Abridged alive
Jai Alai
What used to sound like home
A gambler's hive
Jalacies
A crank and slat
Flower box
Seasonal elastic
With mats and plastic
Astroturf
Is astro tuff
But unattached
And tragically flat
Progress is marked
Like bite wings on shark
Like x-rays
Dolphin
And chalk
Figgie pudding
Lemon tart
First to finish
Last to start
Gift of gab
On a holiday weekend
Returning home
For periods, sequence, leafings
Disco ball weekend
Recovering stamina
Covering bases
Discovering fatima
Joyous abound
Leaving it behind
For a shifting presence
Beginning now
