Haiku Bob- Round 20: breaking up
waxing moon
a narrow defeat
looms large
on again off again
just like us we hit the front
and fall behind
discussing divorce
our early lead
evaporates
clouds breaking up
our makeshift back six
collapses
last gasp defeat
I remember the sound
of my bones breaking
a miraculous comeback
falls short, my daughter asks
what’s an atheist?
love and hate
tattooed on the outcome
of the final siren
