Round 16 – Gold Coast v Collingwood: Haiku Bob – Shades of Sunlight

 

 

chimney smoke
winding through trees
Daicos in traffic

 

 

hitting the lead
and falling behind
. . . shades of sunlight

 

 

scattered sunshine
the defender bobs up
and kicks a goal

 

Daicos words fail me

 

 

another close finish
my hand
on my chest

 

 

shorter days
our comeback
falls short

 

 

soothing the loss that goal
