We get there
in London
that hotel
some cheap one
just behind
Charing Cross
train station
the two rooms
one bedroom
and a bath
and toilet
pokey room
it's evening
we'd just seen
a *** film
in some dive
and some drinks
Nima says
*** at last
Miss *****
is starving
needs her cream
the room smells
kind of stale
the old bed
looks well worn
then let's start
up the game
I reply
she closes
the curtains
(a dull white)
I go off
for a leak
then after
so does she
then we bathe
in the bath
together
soaping up
each other
rubbing down
rinsing off
then kissing
each other
on the lips
the body
and the arms
and the legs
then we dry
rubbing down
preparing
for one long
night of ***
she thinking
of the weeks
in the ward
of that old
hospital
without ***
or her drugs
or her *****
I'm thinking
of each inch
of her pale
white body
the small *****
the slim waist
the dark thatch
of *****
and near by
a gun's shot
or some car
backfires
stirring up
both of our
******
desires.
