Round 19 – Haiku Bob: night squall

 

no goals
the pressure
of the moon

 

 

 

winter night
the sound of an empty
forward line

 

 

 

night squall
beyond it the cry
of a magpie

 

 

 

8 goals down
the creep
of my other life

 

 

 

breaking
our silence
a goal

 

 

 

rotting leaves
a goal in the last quarter
none of us cheer

 

 

 

after the loss
wondering if I could marry
this girl on the train
