scattered leaves
the coach rearranges
the whole team
cloudless sky
the full-forward’s
white glove
sudden pile of leaves. . .
where did they all come from
these goals
another goal
the same roar
in a different key
just a few touches
of Bobby’s hands
and it’s all over
hook, line and sinker
Daicos weaves
into space
comeback win
the stadium plastered
with beer cups
