unison umps stretch fins
kind of game children play
zaheer sucking pattos bat
attention wanders returns
finds sehwag on the ground

zap! trigger fin!
beckons the rammer!
expand outwards from a point
amass a chronicle
a field of decay
mow outwards from a point dive
in the seas green n lustrous gold
umps spectators gatorade monsters
ravi ashwin arranged at the bottom of a bowl
dam cricket! down the
ramp dive in

umps stretch their triggers
hussey can clap
in gloves he claps his bat
pats his shadow
hollers into the thin air n swallows
shadows bent by handsome yadavs line
good judge of a run
field bulges round batters ghost
flash! bug eyes!
backs of heads tops of heads
thats how ya line up the beast!
trigger fin!
fish swallows bugs
vodafone melbourne
quietly waiting
wagging work tail
triggers heads

crowd hoos
m only ever wise in retrospect
reproducing anothers wisdom
amassing a symphony crowd
pings a little
makes a tiny breeze
the indian contingent doesnt care what flags they wave
its more about the waving than the representation
pontings ponted! body jerks as the catch takes
hold pontings a catch but sachins the whole crater!
silences gone up a notch
dravid tendulkar

tip run
push
push – change the angle a degree
go under
a ghost
catch
butt patting
ponted haunted
a series of singles
fizzing waiting
take the time
to express an idea
not in a stream
but in a broken stream
a series of dams
which reflect one another
n create resonances
echoes in wells
bucket sounds!
pouched!

they run out of references
1 hand pick up
thats the rub
heat n power
easy 4 10dulkar

ponting haunting
haunted the cordon
explosions in series
the dravid 10dulkar race
not in a stream

but a series of impacts
such that the stream
lifts
and arches over
the action
here n there
re points
connecting the metaphysical
