centre courtyard springs
to rooftop romance season
out on damp grass
I fell into the night with
seven strangers.
in libraries and halls
of chlorine and lust
I segmented, stole
shared and rearranged
stared while she slept, at concrete
gambled, profited, despised
drew blood and ran
into Emery Field
and collapsed under the weight
of the stars
and of my shame.
