#tensttalk
I lay on the grass
by the tent
at the San Sebastian
base camp
warm sun
other tents all around
Miriam beside me
hands behind her head
sunglasses
tight curled
red-hair
music on the loudspeakers
some Spanish stuff
how'd you sleep?
she asked
eyes closed
I said
no how did you sleep
good or bad?
she said
not bad
the ex army guy
yakked a lot
about his mother's
new boyfriend
and how they
don't get on
(the ex army guy
and the mother's
boyfriend)
is he jealous?
Miriam asked
no idea
his problem not mine
but he will yak so
I said
how about you?
I asked
giving Miriam
a sideways glance
some Yorkshire girl
she don't say much
but when she does
I can't understand
what she's saying
I asked her
if she had a boyfriend
and she said
feckless can
gerr eur lad
I smiled
which one is she?
I asked
big ***** girl
with blonde hair
in bunches
Miriam said
O her
I said
she's not bad looking
but not as good as me
Miriam said
raising her highbrows
of course not
I said
Miriam smiled
and lay her hands
on her stomach
and turned her head
to gaze at me
(but the blonde
Yorkshire lass
had a nice ***
maybe we should
match up the ex-army
with the blonde?
I said
then we can
share my tent
Miriam frowned
then said
can't see it myself
the blonde
and ex-army together
shame
I said
do you always
think of ***
Miriam asked
giving me
her stare
not always
sometimes I think
of ***** and art
and music
here and there.
