Josefina


Last night we reinvented our love

After watching Last Year at Marienbad

At the Roxy

 

The fisherman’s hut was decaying rapidly

And the hung nets

Were beginning to resemble

A shroud

 

I have a brown dog

It is called

Leave my Little Earth Behind

 

Then Peter got down

Out of the boat

Walked on water

And came to Jesus

 

But when he saw the wind

He was afraid

And began to sink

 

He cried out

Lord save me

 

Immediately Jesus

Reached out

And caught him

 

You of little faith

He said

Why did you doubt me

 

Josephina had written this story from the Bible

On her white wall paper

Near the skirting board

But had hidden it

Behind her bedside table

For no apparent reason
