grudge match –
the neighbour I’m lucky to have says,
‘Hope you lose’.
Carlton in front –
how often I think
about death
cutting out the eyes
of the potatoes –
‘How did the ump pay that!?’
sickle moon –
Elliot’s goal
cuts the air
post-match
a thesaurus needed
for Daicos
stirring Daicos goals into my morning coffee
deep autumn –
I’d call him
if I knew him
(for Elijah Hollands)
