Hello Nemmy, nice to see you posting 
"clandestine gatherings" has me fascinated, of course I want to know what secrets you were keeping... besides, with the rest of the poem in mind it sounds like a memory from adolescence, with a group of teenagers up to "no good" (which for me usually meant sneaking about thinking our parents didn't know what we were up to but never really game enough to do anything but tip over a few garden gnomes). I like your shifts through the stanzas from the broader outdoors through memory and then into the privacy of the bedroom.
A really nice read, thank you.

It could be worse
