Death comes when you expect it least;
Today we learn, between-two-feasts,
That Brazil is now in mourning
As
its post-Pelé world is dawning …
World-class
supremo of The Ball
Major hero - ten-feet
tall
Deep
in the hearts of all fans held
At 80 by the ‘Big C’ felled …
Followed
one day later by
Bold
fashion icon; a far cry
From
convention, O.B.E.
Vivienne Westwood, Punk Queen
Bee…
It’s
always too soon when sink low
Famous
names we used to know
But
as they join the stars above
We
can remember them with love …
(c) Poet in the woods 2022
born Edson Arantes do Nascimento (1940--2022)
