the contest
contest
take me out of myself
to a place where my emotions
blend in with the other faces
in the crowd
that sits anxiously
on the edge of its
collective seat
disbelieving still
what it has seen
and can not understand
hearing the roar of the silence
smelling the fear of
not knowing what is to happen next
on the playing field
of this heart of mine
where there is no victory
no defeat
only the contest
