High School Strikers

By Ridhima Bhagawati

Goal-post marked,

With the white chalk of my heart,

Where you and I can one day return,

To kick around a football in turns.

Where from the same old locker room,

We can repick labelled jerseys.

Three decades old forgotten hobbies,

Three sizes small for our grown bodies.
