early lead
a magpie
on the fence post
empty stadium
a free kick
no-one saw
early magnolias –
the rookie kicks three
in the first half
closed borders
all avenues to goal
slammed shut
lead gone –
I turn down
the commentary
covid silence
another goal to them
deepens it
trying
to move on
Silvagni takes a hanger
