Questions? I Have None
I thank those twinkling gods,
of stars and sod,
for the truth they hid from me,
that i might see the right way to falsity,
falsehood?
manhood?
who could?
I would,
ask everyday,
for them to pay,
the price in pounds,
for every sound,
they stole from me,
that night beneath,
the wooden beams,
just a them and a him,
a few feet from the gym quietly exploring each other.

Not sure the meaning of "...and sod" ?
I enjoyed the imagery a lot, it's got me intrigued...am thinking maybe the authors been cheated on ?...it seems quite a personal piece IMO
but overall I liked the style of this, nice :)

well sod is an archaic english word for soil or earth. and thank you for your comment it really is appreciated. and your close. its less about being cheated on and more about cheating oneself; not seeing something beautiful right in front of you for a long time. but mostly its about discovering that what was originally just a good time has become something (terrifyingly) more... or something like that. x)
