first autumn rain
Pendlebury
glides by
autumn chill
a Houston bomb
lights a fire
which way the wind blows
Sidey’s hair tells us
nothing
from screen to screen Bobby’s goal
back-to-back goals
to take the lead –
silent rain
autumn leaves
more and more paths
to goal
autumn dusk
the substitute glows
under floodlights
