SO UNDONE 1962.
Yiska sits
on the grass
for the school
photograph
with others
looking out
at the man
with the box
camera
calling out
watch the bird
or say cheese
but she thinks
of Benny
and her at
lunchtime
behind the
maths classroom
sitting there
on a wall
both kissing
and holding
and tonguing
and touching
getting hot
and alive
with each their
desire
on fire
then someone
knocked on glass
to alert them
and shoo them
off from there
some teacher
mouthing words
gesturing
so now she
sits brooding
not smiling
no longer
being kissed
or embraced
or close touched
just posing
so undone
no pleasure
no fun.
