Hyde Park Winter Rink
We circle as sharks
on the Hyde Park winter rink
our eyes like lasers
I audibly bleep when they meet
We both go forwards
not getting anywhere
we pass with differing intervals
I only breathe when we pass
Some laps are flawless

these pearly stars
squealing in your wake
And for a moment…
I felt so alive

that we were supposed to do
some other experience
we should have expected to share
Lifted...
