THERE TODAY

And Christina
hadn't seen Benedict
on the sports field
the day before

 

and school without
seeing him
was a long haul
of boredom

 

and frustration
and even
to go down
school passageways

 

between lessons
and not get
a peek of him
was stomach churning

 

with other girls
on about this
and that
and she only

 

wanting a peek
of him
to carry home with her
to hug and hold

 

in her bedroom
dreams
but today
in lunch recess

 

he was there
on the sports field
with that fiend of his
and she thought

 

he hadn't seen her
and he was wandering
the field with his friend
and they were laughing

 

and she so wanted
for him to turn
and see her
sitting there

 

on the grass
with a bunch of girls
and them laughing
and giggling

 

about matters
when he turned
and saw her
and she felt

 

her whole being
explode inside
and a rush
of feelings

 

flooded her
so that she was sure
she'd peed herself
with it all

 

and he came over
and said
didn't see you there
come let's go

 

for a walk and
so she got up
unsure if her legs
would hold her

 

what with the body
having exploded
like it had
and she went with him

 

and he lingered
near her
and their hands
were near

 

and she didn't want
to seem forward
and hold his hand
but deep inside

 

she wanted
to hold his hand
and kiss it
and squeeze it

 

and take it home
with her
but she just
let it hang there

 

near his
and he spoke
of being off
the day before

 

through illness
and that
he was ok today
and he laughed

 

and said
did you miss me?
and she said no
and laughed too

 

but god the words
clung to the roof
of her mouth
and she had to

 

push them out
and he said
he thought of her
laying there

 

unwell in his bed
and she thought
how she'd have
hugged him

 

had she been there
how she would have
sweated the illness
out of him

 

but she didn't say it
but smiled
and felt her insides
turning and turning

 

and he said
he dreamed of her
and she said
what did we do?

 

and he said
sure I cant' say
and blushed
and she touched

 

his hand as they
came to the fence
around the field
and it was electrifying

 

and her heart
seemed to thump itself
against her tit
and O how hot

 

it felt being there
she feeling all
so in love
and a slight wind

 

moved his quiff
of brown hair.
