SANITARIUM


As last resort

Retreat to a rooftop
Soft hums & sunlight
Flickering in windows
Car horns radio blasts
Bus motors police sirens
Filtered through
a lonely prism
 
Our blue dome pricked
By a skyscraper tip

Wait for a familiar stranger
's telepathy
in B flat
boys back
from basketball
Joyful screaming gulps
Muffled in pavement
