hot start
the coolness
in our play
Leon’s blind turn
I top up the wine glass
without looking
surrounded by winter
O’Bree works the ball loose
unnoticed
rolling thunder
the ball tumbles
from end to end
dwindling lead
I take everything
back
in winter’s hold
driven only by the goal
we need
less than a goal the blur of bodies
