My sister and I love in Kingsdown

We have lived in a beachside cottage for six years

Since our parents died by their own hand

My sisters name is Laura Smet and she is half Portugese

Laura has an olive skin and raven hair which is typical of her history

She was born in Lagos two years before I was born

We are very close and spend a lot of time together

And although we have seperate rooms in our small cottage

We often spend nights together in each others arms

I am told that this is illegal but the law is for others

In our garden we keep a pet crab which is an expert on French cinema

Recently it told us that my sister shares her name with a French actress

The daughter of Johnny Hallyday and Nathalie Baye

Johnny sadly died in 2017 but we did not mourn his passing

As we were not aware of the connection at the time

From our bedroom window we can see the high white cliffs

Which overlook the disused military firing range

I often look at them when I am sleeping on Laura’s fine breasts

At present I am writing a history of disused firing ranges in Kent

My sister is translating my book into Spanish and Portugese

I hope it will sells well as I would like to replace our bird table

As the original is haunted and is not used by the local birds

A seagull was murdered by a feral cat as it took supper one evening

And its spirit haunts the bird table which I had constructed the previous year

Out of driftwood and other debris after a winter storm

On each warm day we go to the beach which is only yards away

We often swim when the conditions are fair as the sea can be dangerous

The weather forecast for the remainder of the month is good

And a great deal of warm and settled weather is expected

Especially in the south eastern counties of our small island

Both Laura and I gather some amusement

Because we actually reside on two islands here in Kingsdown

It may seem strange but the fact is quite simple to understand
