Earth cracked and withered

A thirst unquenched for decades

Elusive Austin

♦     ♦     ♦

Desperation’s fog

Two wins from post-season’s pomp

Stakes make tenacious

♦     ♦     ♦

Deafening silence

Kin asunder over clan

Countless dinners wrecked

♦     ♦     ♦

Memory’s embrace

Glories of past victory

Set down, forge anew

♦     ♦     ♦

A welcome surprise

Learned lesson’s execution

Run D must repeat

♦     ♦     ♦

Trinity’s neglect

Third phase blind spot will maim hope

Cover onsides, please

♦     ♦     ♦

Season’s elegy

Restless campaign now closes

The next bowl awaits

♦     ♦     ♦

Strange horizon’s gloom

Homesick woes of fledgling youth

Road wins breed resolve

♦     ♦     ♦

The aesthete’s folly

Imagery’s well has run dry

I’m out of ideas

♦     ♦     ♦

Loss–bitter rancor

Salted vengeance, catharsis

Touchdown Red Raiders
