MILKA'S MORNING RISE 1964A Poem by Terry CollettA GIRL ONE SATURDAY MORNING IN 1964Your mother calls just as you have finished dressing Benny's here she calls up won't be long you say looking at yourself in the dressing table mirror Benny is early you dab a wet finger over your eyebrows bet Mum's chatting him up like she does you muse flicking back your hair bet she fancies him herself you muse frustratedly you look around your room the bed tidy you thinking of the other Saturday when your mum was out shopping Benny was there and you and he were going at it great hurry up up there your mother calls again you sigh and open your bedroom door and go down stairs just coming you say and into the kitchen where your mother is at the side preparing toast and tea and Benny sitting in a chair with his hazel eyes and brown hair. © 2017 Terry Collett |
