streams of sunshine
dashed out by returning clouds
wood anemones close

a visit
to your student digs
after a month spent apart.
One of your housemates
runs a D&D game
where my character
is repeatedly killed.
I begin to suspect.
You seem distracted.
Meaningful looks are exchanged
between the two of you.
I begin to realise
I'm the outsider here.
