Can you see?
What depths of bleak
Sadness
Despair
defeated, crushed like Hector
We are saved
(A warrior comes!)
Mercenary, Ronin
Hands grasping, grinding
A thunderbolt, California night
The ocean cracks and drains
The beard (glistens)
Santa Ana whispers, glistening

Game 4
Santa Ana winds
swirling above Chavez Ravine
rendered to embers
the familiar scripted houses
of mass-broadcast, supposed-to-be fame.
When it all burned clean
Left standing was the bearded guy
Substantial; well traveled
Coining the new currency
of fame. Redemption.
Honest earning. Of hard luck turned.
The ball carried deep to right. In this new America
It has yet to land.

I suppose I’d like it a bit more if the santa anas weren’t whipping up some nasty ass fires right now :)
