Approaches

Just a quick piece actually inspired by a good friend of mine (who most of you will know and can probably guess).

Approaches
Beats come down like heavy rain,
Tympanic muscles signal the charge, keep time, sound the retreat.
A cage or rope or group around defines the whole;
Encapsulates and pleases on a structure of
Time and bells; a counting in, a counting out, accounting for
A dance and a spar to the music of fixed space, fixed metre.
You do it with fists and knees;
I do it with pen and with speech.
Both wrestlers across the spectrum.
