This poem was inspired by one of my favorite figure skaters, Shoma Uno. He’s competing in the Four Continents Championships this weekend, and I wish him the best of luck. If you’re curious, you can watch a video of Shoma at Skate America here.
Shoma
the roar of the wind
muscle, ice, and blade
a wake of frost
and flame red cheeks
