WITH THOUGHT 1962A Poem by Terry CollettA GIRL AND HER THOUGHTS OF A BOYWith the thought of her big sister being pregnant and her father moaning about it and her mother glum as Mondays Shoshana went back to her room and lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling at the spider big and black and juicy in the corner trying to hide but not making a good job of it she mused on Naaman and seeing him again the following day being next to him lunch time at recess after the double maths (yuk) and talk to him about things and see his smile (Elvis like) and watch as his quiff of brown hair moves as he sits and talks and O just to be next to him she crossed her legs at the ankles folded her arms under her breasts she thought of the book of butterflies he had brought and his talk of this butterfly and that and the colourings and patterns and she wished he had touched her hand or arm or just turned and kissed her but he didn't he just talked of butterflies he had seen or hoped to see and her body was yearning for him she had never in all her young days felt such yearning in her body or mind and she closed her eyes lying there like one who's blind. © 2016 Terry Collett |
