dark cool waves
sand squishes
between my toes

the crowd erupts . . .
juicy hot dog
falls to the ground

completely exhausted
I drive home,
but am still homesick

  

hand in hand
pacing back to her door—
night is complete

blood, sweat, and tears
I make the cliché
my reality

  

numb hands
chilled spine—
late-season practice

Touchdown!
but still down
fourteen points . . .
