NIMA WAITS 1967.

Nima waits
in her bed
on the ward
it's twilight
and she feels
a great urge
for some sex
but Benny
is at home
at his place
and others
on the ward
are sleeping
all women
some are old
few are young
even the
young night nurse
in her small
cramped office
off the ward
seldom comes
to visit
at that hour
she tries to
picture in
her dazed mind
Benny there
beside her
kissing her
holding her
his fingers
exploring

her body
his wet lips
on her neck
on her breasts
on the dip
of her loins
on her pubes
but he's not
there at all
just her lips
wet kissing
where she can
O Benny
come to me
be my man.
