Matthew Hayden

You are a special dream
I’m feeling slight connections with you
Letting out spears of light in sunshine
You’re always special to me
Your texture is like fur
You sit at the bottom of my drawer
To be proudly on my bedroom wall

When you’re in hand
You are pleasantly soft
I went to watch cricket
I didn’t get what I wanted:
An autograph
Now I have one

My shirt has a meagre signature
But readable
He’s a legend, Matthew Hayden
