BENEDICT THINKS OF HER.
Benedict
thinks of her
Christina
the girlfriend
at high school
as he now
undresses
preparing
for bedtime
she far off
in her house
in her town
her parents
probably
below stairs
watching their
dull programmes
on TV
while she in
her bedroom
undresses
or so he
imagines
(in his head)
watching her
removing
each piece of
clothing
as he too
undresses
in his room
a coloured
centrefold
of a fast
racing car
on the wall
and her small
photograph
by his bed
she gave him
he'd seen her
on the field
at high school
during their
lunch recess
she sitting
with her friends
giggling
then walking
together
off alone
high smell of
lavender
her soft hand
lips kissing
now in bed
lying there
lights all out
just moonlight
reflecting
her image
he pretends
she is there
next to him
not speaking
not laughing
both watching
the moon move
and stars shine
hands touching
fingers entwined
each having
the same thoughts
in shared mind.
