One golden moment

on the turf

it all came together.


Positions

Speed

Force

Angle


A perfect serve

from the wing.


The ball seemed to fall forever

'gainst that shiny bald head.



With every muscle

in his body tensed

the attacker made a nod

like a whiplash

into that exact space

between the poles.


Unreachable.


It took a while

before the world

started turning.
