After a weekend away
at her aunt's place
Nima was back in hospital
as her release
had run out
the nurse said
how was your weekend?
boring as hell
Nima said
shame
the nurse said
but at least
you were away from here
but you didn't do
any drugs did you?
of course not
Nima said
unless *** is a drug
in which case
I had an overdose
you never did
the nurse said smiling
who with?
that's for me to know
and you to dream about
Nima said
the nurse went off
and left Nima
by her bed
to change into her nightdress
and go sit
in the lounge
with other woman and girls
until bedtime
she undressed
and put on her nightdress
and thought of Benny
and wished he was there
by her bed
and had watched her undress
but he wasn't
he was at home
and she was there
with the others
and nurses
and cocoa to drink
and biscuits to eat
and lights out
by a certain time
and no one
to have *** with
no drugs to have
nothing except
the dull dark night
and pangs for
this and that
and other urges
and desires
flaring up
like blazing fires.
