Preliminary Final: Haiku Bob – losing it

 

catching the train

past all these churches

to the MCG

 

 

 

 

steady drizzle

gradually

we fall apart

 

 

 

 

three quarter-time huddle

even the clouds

have clouds

 

 

 

 

last quarter comeback

the crowd

losing it

 

 

 

 

final siren

I cradle my daughter –

waning crescent moon

 

 

 

 

 

after the defeat

my wet clothes heavy

with the defeat

 

 

 

 

 

season over

my mind turns

to the next life
