the cars passing by my home
with the flags and SIRENS
sparked more and more impatience

the testimony of the game is still
alive and clear:

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 EARLY goal and big Blue and White
FLAGS and fans’ sirens,
The yellow smoke from the fireworks

And the same evening
becoming one of the longest

from the match as if from the
funeral of the biggest Statesman

start were big sad dissapointment

30 years ago to the longest evening
I was thinking non-stop about the match

Notes
