I am safe in a corner shop (looking for portals on shelves in racks)
evening gathers inside ending-day-busy streetlights just on
a girl and myself waiting to be served quiet I am seated waiting
the girl is fidgeting her shoe drawing her foot out slightly
to see her veined feet the root of her toes; she notices me noticing
and moves to another part of the shop adjusting something
I am sorry; she has on a yellow dress; she comes back to the counter
stands beside me talking to the shopkeeper adjusting her tights now
plucking them up raising her dress a little, she steps and sits on my lap
without talking without referring to me still talking to the shopkeeper
clean crumpled yellow cotton neck; oh; a little bashful I put my arms
around her waist, she continues to talk engaged in her business
her hands come to rest on my hands on her legs I am embarrassed
but she is comfortable in my lap moving and leaning as she talks
thank you yellow cotton shoulder, now I know what to write
now I know what to do, now I can breathe deeply, I think I could
sleep now
