SCHUBERT & ME.

A GIRL AND BOY IN A CLASSROOM IN 1962 AND SCHUBERT

She comes in
Yochana
with her friend

Angela
a squat girl
with blonde hair

and sit down
in two seats
at the front

of the class
I watch her
from the back

with Reynard
my best friend
the teacher

old Miss G
is writing
on the board

with white chalk
before she
sits down she

looks at me
(Yochana
not Miss G)

there's a hint
of a smile
then she turns

and I see
just the back
of her head

(straight black hair
reaching down
past shoulders)

sometimes when
when she turns
left or right

I catch her
pale profile
and secretly

take a kiss
from my lips
put it down

on my palm
and blow it
towards her

pallid cheek
no one sees
the palm blown

small kisses
then Miss G
plays piano

some Schubert
piano work
and I watch

Yochana's
thin fingers
move along

the desk top
her response
to Schubert

not to me
I sit there
wishing hard

those fingers
were playing
upon me.

I really liked this Terry. For me it has a 'Norman Wisdom character' innocence to it; blowing kisses and wishing - totally besotted (him not me lol).

Another imagery filled gem! Really enjoyed the boyish journey!
Us boys and our free minds, I would be lying if I said my mind
hasn't got the better of me:)Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
