Home Team In White
August 23, 2011, by Homme de Sept-Îles
not the red you dread
the trophy splashed across our chests
gretzky's mercuryhead
lafleur's tropes
and perreault's shattered ankle
on the lines over waves under mines over time
they wove warped wavered
and sputnik silence
or cosmonaut brave(s)
the blip armour blip armour blip
tank crash Atari bangbang
combat black
and white
we wore white
like heroes
adjusted our carnations
never knowing thus never daring caring
the red, the red, the reds
with their touch of gold
