pass to the centre pass pass

oh

come up

come up on the outside

run

come

come

come my darling

come gentle

here

(here)

in ease

pass the winter’s sun

 

easy

ease the ball

stall

watch for the moment

toe it turn

ease the moment

seize the instant

shoot

 

an arc of grace sprung high

the sun its keystone

shaping a shimmering vault

a canopy of prayer and delight

a drift of sky

arena of flight

a cathedral of play

of tribal rite

lam the ball

boot it

belt it one

no no

kick it

bollocks you cunt

hit it

kick the fucking thing

get it in there

twat

and that moment has its presence

goal

goal

it’s a goal

it’s a fucking shitting goal

(goal)

 

hands cascade upwards radiating the cold sun with material human light
cheer

delight and tremor

a sense of the right

but here

here gentle

gentle gentle

past

pass

we are always the moment

always pass

shining

the radiant moment

pass….
