Shoshana sees him,
watches him, he walks
through the playground
towards the cloakrooms,
his head turned away
from her, his profile,
snaps it with her eyes
like a camera, Naaman,
she thinks his name is,
the stride of him, so
goose-bumpily he makes
her, somersault of her
innards, her brain alive
like a wire shot through.
He stops, holds out a hand,
palm upwards, eyes the
sky, then her, standing by
the fence, Monkey's Wedding,
he says, smiling, then down
it comes rain and the sunshine
almost hand in hand like a
weird bride and groom, then
downwards falling, go run,
she hears him loudly calling.
