I may have HIV

At the Grand Isle
in a search through driftwood
piles for a message
in a bottle

a syringe glanced
my shin

likewise, clearing thicket
at a housing site

we found tunnels,
an underground
city,

lanes where speed
thrived,

but where are the people
who left the needle
again stuck
in me?

Why did a metropolis
sustained by veins
of passion
dry--

have all of them
ascended?
