Doronit would spit fire
and Baruch knew it
he'd had it before
that time she'd gave him
the hard time because
he'd sat watching
some dame
in a caravan opposite
hanging out washing
on a make shift line
fancy her do you?
Doronit said
why don't you go over
and chat her up
but Baruch told her
he wasn't interested
and that he was just
observing the washing
hanging process
looking at her smalls
I suppose?
she said
no he said he hadn't
but he had been looking
at the fine movement
of the dame's ****
but he never told
Doronit that
yes she'd spit fire
she'd lay the words on him
and that time
she saw this
other dame's name
in his note book
and when he came home
for lunch
she said
who's this then?
you having it off
with her?
Baruch told her
it was some dame
he was watching at work
all about
security and such
and she began
throwing stuff at him
shoes coat hangers knives
forks and spoons
whatever she could lay
her hands on and some
of it came down the stairs
like missiles
and he went up
and pinned her down
on the bed to calm her
and she relaxed
and said
was that all? no affair?
no
he said
no affair
nothing
just security
at work
and she smiled
and kissed him
and that was that
all over
fire spat and done
but this time
the fire
would be for real
and Baruch knew it
and he watched her go
about her work that day
hoovering dusting
cleaning the floor
and he waved goodbye
at the door
and never looked back
all over
no more fire
no more
Doronit had done it
for the last time
and he recalled her
that last moment
she with her cigarette smoking
her hair tied back
her eyes full
of dull fires
burning embers
and that is all
looking back
he remembers.
