winter rain —
the ball tossed between bodies
of water
somewhere the moon —
Port players have trouble
finding the ball
soggy night —
Blair uses his
lack of height
night rain —
Collingwood players
add to the glitter
non-stop rain —
a dyke erected
across the half-back line
long winter —
the ball stained
with Swan’s foot
20 goal win
adding years
to my life

I hope that big hairy Moon is somewhere close in round 24 and perhaps a few weeks beyond, Rob.
Some of those stars may see stars.
(Is a dyke an igneous intrusion?)
i believe you’re right phanto.
i have a soft spot for dykes.
they kept me alive for 6 years in holland.
By the way Rob;
I would score that verse as one of your finest.
Hows that for an olive leaf going into the finals?
nice try phanto.
