Nina Sager '26
On a rooftop in Brooklyn,
We stood in the thundering silence
As the building lights studied the sky
The sparks danced through windows and exploded the darkness
Like two lovers twirling around and around
And running through woods and trees
On a rooftop in Brooklyn
We watched while the leaves encircled their bodies as they moved
How their arms made the branches and their legs the roots
And they swayed and leaped through the blackness of the night
On a rooftop in Brooklyn,
They looked for each other
Dancing for each other
Breathing for each other
Living for each other
On a rooftop in Brooklyn,
For a bleak moment,
They endlessly made infinite the galaxy
And bounded about the stars
Soaring down to the buildings hand in hand
And disappeared back into the illuminating brightness
On a rooftop in Brooklyn,
Your hand grabbed mine
And your eyes drowned my soul
On a rooftop in Brooklyn,
We wanted to find love.
