AUNT FLO'S ARRIVAL 1964.
Benny's here!
Milka's mother
calls out
up the stairs
where Milka
is still in bed
thinking of where
she and Benny
could go
to have ***-
her place is out
as her mother
is in all day
and Benny's place
is out
for the same reason-
and although Benny
had said something
about a place
they could go
a bike ride away-
meaning that even
after a good soak
in the bath
she'd not be
smelling as fresh
as a rose-
but as she rises
from bed she's aware
of even that
possibility is out
as splat
blood rises
with her
the dreaded curse
or Aunt Red or Flo
has come
and o ****
she says
and rushes along
the upstairs landing
and into the bathroom
and shutting the door
with a teenage
girl temper
that's all I ****** need
she utters
spittle on her lower lip
turning on the bath taps
putting the bath plug in
and *******
and thinking
of the Saturday-
the only day effectively
she can see Benny
as he at 16
works weekdays
and she at 15
is still at school-
and Sundays
her parent's say
is a family day
and church day
and even if she did
see Benny on Sunday
which she rarely does
there is no place to go
to have ***
and only the cinema
is open and late
in the day
she gets in the bath
once it is at
the right temperature
and sits down
and using her mother's
bath stuff
she lies down
and curses
and washes
and knows Benny
is downstairs
with her mother
and God knows
what she's saying
about me
Milka says
and now this
the big spoiler
the arrival of Aunt Flo
o ****
she says
washing and cleaning
and imagining she
and Benny
as they did the last time
having *** in her bed
while her mother
was out shopping
and she coming
back early
and they almost
getting caught
and o Benny
he is a one
and her mother likes him
and he saying things
and she believing him
and now that
is done for now
just them together
going out-
not too late
her mother will say-
no chance of it happening
and so she lies
back in the water
cursing and swearing
Milka's mother's
angry daughter.
