My first sonnet in April

I'll be posting a couple of sonnets in April.  Here's the first one.


A time that never happened, in a place never seen

Within an isolated space, though here
surrounded by humanity, where walls
define their occupants and have no fear
of sound or light or how strange fate befalls
the witnesses to subterfuge—a match
of intersecting lovers finds a place
to be alone, afloat upon a patch
of solitary rapture, though no trace
persists in public view, no five-fold sense
can tell with whom it was, or even where
it happened—if it did—a dense
anomaly adrift, extremely rare
yet massively attractive, so it bends
refined reality to its own ends.
