No Carry On (18-170A)
Empty the bucket
years of trauma
Dumped in the final stage
leave baggage behind
No carry on allowed
journey requires travel light
As drift in and out
fogged mind warps time

Last Day of the Season
Last Day of the Season
Sounds of life fill the air
Whistles of referees
Sounds of kids voices
In excitement of game
Green fields at the end of October
Thump of soccer ball kicked
Sporadic cheers of parents erupt
Red and neon green flags at the corners stiff in the wind
Fields become quiet
Only four teams remain
All the age groups gone
Except the oldest age division
Coolness drifts onto the field
Sun grows low on horizon
Breeze chills the players
Parents huddle to stay warm
Then it is over
Another season drawn to a close
Disperse quickly in fading light
Cleats and shin guards put away
Sounds of life fill the air
Whistles of referees
Sounds of kids voices
In excitement of game
Green fields at the end of October
Thump of soccer ball kicked
Sporadic cheers of parents erupt
Red and neon green flags at the corners stiff in the wind
Fields become quiet
Only four teams remain
All the age groups gone
Except the oldest age division
Coolness drifts onto the field
Sun grows low on horizon
Breeze chills the players
Parents huddle to stay warm
Then it is over
Another season drawn to a close
Disperse quickly in fading light
Cleats and shin guards put away
