a mass of bodies that is
so many souls
swaying like
sublime imitation of the divine or merely waiting for the
drop
only one among them
might change your life
back against the wall
light pool along the clavicle
dress like a shadow
clung to figure
big eyes suddenly
like a juggernaut
just a look is like climbing rungs
to
somewhere better
someone must have said something
because sun sprung
in a smile
a laugh
soundless from distance but sweet to see and sent
thoughts on a cascade
catching gazes on the playing field
feeling free going to make it real
then
strobed shadows consumed
didn’t see you walk away
still always
light pool along the clavicle
laughs leant back against the wall
