Unless Real can produce something special

Barcelona came from behind

it took more than the dark arts

to keep down the irrepressible

possessing the ball in deeper positions

the first attack came on 11 minutes

Ronaldo produced a stinging left foot

with the goal at his mercy

Messi burst forward for Barca

he that conjured up the pass

found Abidal onside

time and space prod the ball home

familiar silence came down

over Santiago Bernabeu

Catalans in the stadium of their biggest rival

continue hoodoo against Real Madrid

increasingly bad-tempered

in Santiago Bernabeu

home fans had seen it all before

(all text mixed from Reuters report on match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, 18 Jan 2012)

Planh

Non sabs balar … - Guerau de Cabrera

You don't know

how to dance

on gaudy stones

any longer

but you may

disrupt footings

you may move

below air

sing song

without air

below las ramblas

below this

re

memb

ering


***

Shades World Night

liquid evening open  

accumulating sky &

nowhere postcards burning

branches testing concrete

memory goes out

car broken weather

change million meander

row everything endless

moon behind walls

spills radio guitar

kissing corners hugging

know waiting door

feathers stone steps

hidden palms tongue

fooling twice in

night standing there
