Round 22 – Sydney v Collingwood: Haiku Bob – left behind

 

 

 

 

 

bouncing down the wing the sun in the outer

 

 

unseasonal blossoms
premature talk
of finals

 

 

left behind
that person I was
a goal ago

 

 

loose players
in our backline
I rearrange the furniture

 

 

arching it’s back
the moon,
Jeremy Howe

 

 

winter shadows falling further behind

 

 

curling his body
a split second too late
Mihocek
