She's smoking
looking out
at the grounds
of the old
hospital
she's sitting
on a bench
green with age
it's summer
and she wears
the short dress
with birds on
I see her
sitting there
her legs crossed
one white foot
dangling
hi Nima
I call out
she turns round
exhales grey smoke
so you've come
after all
didn't think
you'd turn up
after we had
that big row
(in London
all about
not getting
a hotel room
for the night)
how are you?
I ask her
I sit down
on the bench
next to her
I'm ****** off
she replies
stuck in here
with mentals
suicides
drug cases
just like me
with no drugs
not my sort
no freedom
no alcohol
and no ***
I light up
a cigar
and inhale
a nurse passes
blue and white
uniform
black stockings
and black shoes
I study
her neat ***
she's the best
they've got here
Nima says
a bright gem
amongst dross
I suppose
you'd like her
on my bed
I know I
do some nights
just looking
I reply
nothing more
I recall
that *****
Saturday
in that cheap
hotel room
in London
a few weeks
back in time
having ***
so often
in the night
I felt like
Sisyphus
pushing it
and then down
book early
next weekend
I get out
Nima says
I'm *** starved
***** Cat
needs her milk
I concur
and say so
studying
her crossed legs
smooth as silk.
