OWL-HOOTING NIGHT 1916A Poem by Terry CollettA MAID IN HER ATTIC BED IN 1916 DREAMING OF HER LOVERIn her cold bed in the attic which she shares with the other maid Susie Polly dreams that George is there and has his arms around her waist and is kissing her neck and holding her close to him and she breathes in deep and wants him and turns to him and it's not him at all it's Susie holding her in sleep's hold kissing lips to her shoulder in some dream and Polly sighs and wants it to be George not her and tries to release the grip on her by Susie's hands and be off elsewhere but she knows George is in some hospital some place with shell-shock and not in his room upstairs where once he had her and she swooned in his bed and was had and had until dawn's bright light after the good deal of sex in the owl-hooting night. © 2016 Terry Collett |
