Notes About The Poem
Dedicated to a big loss. A football coach in the 90s. He trained a big team "Deportivo A Coruña" his best trophy, his home. And also Real Madrid. Where he never belonged. He used to whisper to his team. Arsenio Iglesias. A coach. A teacher. A man I had the chance to meet and do sport with. Thanks for being such a wonderful person

Big Loss

upset of not being
     he was recognised by most,
   he died, he conquered

          empty hearts he filled
     with rich words and knowledges
   beyond a life's match
