Si Si


Earlier today the home help

Had a miscarriage in the bathroom

Whilst Ronald played golf on the lawn

I dived into a pool full of weeds

As I dearly wanted to drown

Later I asked Tomas if the baby was his

Which he denied without taking a breath

In the afternoon we all went to the beach

To compete in our annual quoits tournament

Five unseen hours away on a distant horizon

A terrible black storm was gaining power

We had all agreed to shelter in the storm cellar

Carlos though decided to ride out the storm

As he wanted to experience the fury of the winds

He left a scribbled note in my leather diary

It read

I Love You Rosa
