winter clouds thicken
before we know it
8 goals down
tail end of winter
our only goal
this quarter
wet with dew
players slide
towards defeat
defeat certain –
with what life remains
I pour another drink
my team loses
I stare
at the moon
winning, losing
winning, losing
football in July
winter rain
this latest loss
soaks everything
