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
