#bedsit
afterparty mingle in a single bedroom vault wincing ceiling slopes so low condemning matter dance to fumbles and more penetrating life forces gum-balls into stressed room couple and squirm over into the crawl space hazardous music and metallic humour is pushing risks and insult no being is out of place pouting the smoke and store brand alcohol routing and deafening and defeating too much the gagster comes thundering down the corridor like he was wrought for applause he addresses those outside the room and it's wagging dogs and a face of cartoony ballooning pep it's hard to handle the wash of wording an assault of enthusiasm jester baits laughter with an old polaroid camera slamming open the door all tension his way he presses the button and projects them all against the walls 'Flash ****** ! ' he squells throws aside the camera 'People Pile!' he thumps into the crowd bed begging a play fight baroque girl hugging her knees crammed under the small sink to the side of the door reaches out a nervy hand and takes the discarded camera watches the ********** photo paper fade in slow retch her own pose lone excluded soul separate and saved she leaves with souvenir

Una's new bedsit is cramped
and has just three rooms
a bathroom and kitchen
and a main room
which she has curtained off
for a bedroom
what do you think of it?
small but cosy
Nuala says
looking about her
Una looks at her anxiously
can you stay awhile?
sure I can
is it the same bed?
no it's furnished
like the last place
I've no stuff of my own
Una says
Nuala sighs
you're a bit of a wanderer
aren't you?
have been for years
Una says
you like it?
she asks
sure if you're happy here
Una nods
and looks at the bed
have you time?
to do things?
or just a coffee and chat?
Nuala looks at the bed
and then at Una
all three if you like
she says
how's Brian?
Una asks
the same
Nuala says
I think he fancied me
Una says
he's a man
he'd fancy any girl
in a skirt and legs
and an *** on her
Nuala says
shall we?
Una says
best draw the curtains first
don't want your neighbours
gawking as we get undressed
and make love
Nuala says
Una draws the curtains across
and the room becomes dim
they begin to undress slowly
wanting to do things relaxed
and not panicky as they did
that last time at Nuala place
and Brian came home
and they had to lie still
in case he came in
and found them naked
and in bed together
they get into bed
and lie there gazing
at each other
Una says
is that Brian's love bites
on your shoulder?
yes the idjit thinks it's funny
******* my skin
Nuala says
so do you love him?
Una says
Nuala sighs
I thought I did
but I'd not do this
if I did I guess
she says
guess not
Una says
they kiss lips to lips
hands touching
holding and investigating
Una wanting to ****
Nuala's neck but doesn't
just in case Brian sees
and there's trouble
so she kisses more and more
like a wet wave
on a dry shore.
