Hail Mary,
full of grace.”
The final seconds
and miles to go for paydirt
We heave a missile
toward the end zone;
receivers dash thru enemy turf
jockey for position
eyes cast skyward
the trajectory of the bomb
last gasp shot; final lunge
Hail Mary,
full of grace.”
let my receiver
haul in the miracle
missile descending
in final desperation
to snatch victory
from certain defeat
