hello/darling

gentle
that was her
and giving too
fast asleep
under sheets
watching tv

grinning always
you're too kind
you're too kind
she would say
you're too kind
again and again

loud speaker paint splatter

i fell into her laughter
her soul
her fucking
her

confusion
that was us
in the depths
under the swarm
under the sheets
mesmerized just so

i fell into her

i can remember her every step
on that boardwalk
and each direction that her dress moved
in the august wind
we laughed endlessly

we played each other
in supporting roles
shot in black & white graininess
over theatre applause
in a kensington market

i fell into her moving mind

i fell into her laughter
her soul
her fucking
her
