Lazy bounds of stadium light
flicker on our boys

but we are tearing
up the night

cutting open nebulas
ravaging the moon

inky black guts slide
i hear them scrambling over barbed wires

attempted lust in the trees
fumbling with skeleton hips

adolescent lips digging into sharpened necks
leaving their burrow to inhale sweeter highs

someone’s china-glass tears are heard
below the idle roar

we are only allowed to scream
when rubber balls are involved

pounding car ride far away
a cotton moon glares at the windshield

these earthly nights
never felt so real.
