AFL Grand Final – Haiku Bob: sky high

 

Grand Final Day –
every year
that memory

 

 

no clouds
my faith
sky high

 

 

first bounce
no air
in the air

 

 

the sun’s rays
spearing through the goals
– long bombs from fifty

 

 

100,000 people talking to myself

 

 

without
any fuss
Pendlebury

 

 

two endings
to the same story
– Grand Final

 

 

lowering sun –
magpies here and there
catch its glow
