She unzips the zip of my jeans her mother's in the kitchen getting drinks -soft drinks not hot stuff in this heat- her fingers thin and spidery search for my fellow I anxious stare kitchen-ward at the maybe approaching mother he's slack she says soft voice breathing disappointment he sleeps it's his siesta in this heat I say not looking away Milka zips up the fly and licks her spidery fingers one by one here you are her mother says on returning with drinks in hands nice and cold and straws for both and lays them down on the table where we stood she smiles Milka frowns and my fellow sleeps that's good.

SIESTA 1964.
She unzips the zip of my jeans her mother's in the kitchen getting drinks -soft drinks not hot stuff in this heat- her fingers thin and spidery search for my fellow I anxious stare kitchen-ward at the maybe approaching mother he's slack she says soft voice breathing disappointment he sleeps it's his siesta in this heat I say not looking away Milka zips up the fly and licks her spidery fingers one by one here you are her mother says on returning with drinks in hands nice and cold and straws for both and lays them down on the table where we stood she smiles Milka frowns and my fellow sleeps that's good.
