Crunch, Crunch.
Leaves heralding
Brown forms ghosting through oaks.
Pulse quickens, hands sweat, try to breathe.

that you can no longer deliver
and after the long, hard years
what remains is wear and tear.

The slice of the skates creates
An atmosphere of greats
They fly on the ice
Not the least bit of nice
A game of ego awaits.
