for coca-colas

ghostly eyes linger about posts
helicopters of human torso hover
immaculate hands rise skyward earthward
mouths shout bombs prayers hailing echowire
over bloody knees aching thighs tumbling
shoulders concrete into ribs frozen mud
unite us to bury
thunder galloping home

goal posts at sunrise
(texans became colts at memorial stadium in 1953 and champions on national tv in 1958)
