SOCCER, HABESHA
I don't know there,
here in my locality
there is no
ball sport that is
played by one ball only.
example:
gratitude to our bountiful parents,
we are the founders
of staying
at home
until well wall-lit mornings.
it's the sacred errors
of the neighbouring
summons
foreign to our habit
that made us
use at least two balls
at a time
until
they close their doors
clothe our errands
full of evenings.
who can allow
the shops
to run innocents
that open
early hours
to openly close our doors, a door
for the sake of welcoming
morning breezes
hardly out of permission
of our doors
of our dogs
of our furniture
furnishing
fond of hobby
budding bed
sampling supple
reality
to seek the guests
apparently
eventful
exactly
eventually
to not last
more than one ball a visit, a door...do not crack creek it crack it slalom like
how many balls
did I count,
'whatever finish-able, last-able-
countless!' declared
the rock
the cock,
nearly mistaking everlasting
LV
EO.
