Haiku Bob – Round 8 – blindsided
May 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
the moon sits
on top of the grandstand –
weight of the defeat
after the game
the train fills with laughter
and silence
bare trees
all day sensing
this defeat
merging clouds
a kick into the forward line
cut off
goalless quarter –
the yellow footy lost
in the sunset
blindsided
by the onset of floodlights
two quick goals
through another hole
in the back six
the moon
