I saw you
keep staring
Yochana
says to me
while in class
this morning
we're watching
other kids
by the fence
at recess
why do you
stare at me?
I like you
I tell her
she looks out
at the field
why would you?
She asks me
I just do
no reason
you kissed me
on the cheek
suddenly
I remember
it was good
she looks round
stares at me
not for me
it wasn't
she then adds
at the time
and what now?
I ask her
I'm confused
what I feel
inside me
like when you
hear Chopin?
She blushes
looks away
watching kids
on the field
at their play
can I kiss?
I ask her
not right here
she mutters
where abouts?
I don't know
where abouts
but not here
you're pretty
I tell her
she pretends
she's not heard
after school
if you like
just before
your school bus
is filled up
she suggests
all right then
I reply
we stand there
by the fence
in silence.
