I feel the pain of falling leaves, and stems that break in storms
and trouble and dissolution and distress
and then the softness of deep shadows folding,
folding around my soul and spirit, around my lips...

After the pain of dropping points at home to Sky Blue FC, the Portland Thorns traveled to Seattle last Saturday with one overriding mission; to take points, or at least a point, off the Seattle Reign.
They couldn’t accomplish that mission. The Thorns failed to score—despite creating several point-blank opportunities—and then conceded an 89th-minute goal.
