gathering gloom
before and after defeat
piles of dead leaves
colour my thoughts
old rivals
enter the fray –
dark clouds
all our perfect passes during the warm up
leaves twist and turn
we fall under
Judd’s spell
drifting clouds
Anthony pulls another
shot for goal
dappled light
all our short passes
too short
autumn recedes overcast skies replaced by our dreary play
flash of sun Leon adds his slant
gathering gloom
the sun can’t take this day away
soon enough
maggots –
the only thing that moves
in the dead magpie
