Garrincha

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Cloudbursts, rainbows and genius
With the ball stitched to your toes
On invisible threads
Wove a tapestry of brilliance
As those twisted limbs unraveled
To reveal such beauty
Gracing football pitches
A fast burning comet
With light blazing
Manuel Francisco dos Santos
“Little Songbird”
In heaven your song still sings.
