Other girls
at the school
(boarding school)
fitted in
to the scheme
rich parents
successful
well balanced
but Jodie
came towards
end of term
her mother
was now dead
her father
couldn't cope
drinking lots
in his grief
then one of
the teachers
a young one
named Iris
22
seemed to be
very close
asked questions
how she was
about her home
her mother
how she died
and she cried
(Jodie did)
and Iris
held her close
to comfort
Jodie smelt
the perfume
felt the warmth
whispered words
to console
the soft *******
by her cheek
as she lay
afterwards
while in class
during maths
getting bored
the teacher
some old bird
rattled on
but Jodie
realized
that she loved
young Iris
the teacher
that strangely
she wanted
to hold her
to smell her
to hear her
the old bird
talked about
algebra
Jodie thought
of nothing
excepting
how to get
in the bed
of Iris
if only
in her head.
