Absent Player

Ball games her agony

at rounders she was posted out

and placed at the furthest

possible position

under a tree almost.

Lost, as usual, dreaming,

she heard some vague panic noises

breaking through, as if, desperate,

the whole team were shouting

‘Catch the ball! Catch the ball! Catch it!’

She slowly turned her face upwards.

She did not see the ball,

but, it aimed at a resistance

and came down straight, smack

onto a well-shaped mouth.

Her front teeth were loosened

in blood. She lay on the grass.

No way could she tell any

sympathy from her boiling rage

around her. She cried, quietly.
