Clean Sheets
Those fresh laundered sheets
of hers
were a time limited pleasure ..
Enjoyed
by so many, but briefly like
fragments
of fluffy white clouds against
the backs,
front and the sides of those
who
would occasionally visit her ..
Always
warmly welcomed, yet never
once loved ..
But enjoyed like a kiss from
a cool gentle
breeze, on a hot summers day ..

Good write N.

It’s like you tore a page out of my nonexistent diary:
Regular visits, always clean sheets.. Good with zero emotional commitment. Then one Saturday another male already there. Coffie round well used kitchen table inherited from her mother. All cool. He seemed like good guy. Same language of origin; obvious empathy between. Left after coffee. Perhaps all he knew of me was a casual neighbor passing the time of day……. Best wishes to her, she was lovely.
It weren\'t you woz it .. I distinctly recall popping round to her gaff with a white gerbil in a shoe box (she said she fancied one) so I thought I would give her one .. When I lifted a corner of the quilt the first thing I noticed (as one does) was the beard .. Yep, she was lovely, throughout summer into fall .. Neville
And it weren't you either - unless you are a native Italian speaker....
