Glass exploding
Impact reverberating in the air.
Ricocheting pieces cut
Dull against your gaze.
Throwing bottles
Dry drowning daily--
Bloated body bobbing before sinking slowly.
Soul settling
Sentiment strewn bottom-side.
Desperate fingers--
Gripped glass against skin,
Holding on.
Seeking pain in bloodlines, red roots
Bare hands searching to feel you
But they can’t.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
