i go to the swing and spend three hours there, thinking. i'm delirious with fever, I barely touch the grass. gliding with the legs of a lapwing, a sweet hairless pussy. thinking about that jealousy, about that burning i feel when mum touches a man. about the unbearable burning when i hear her moan like she's about to wet herself, and me waiting for her in doorways, hopping over pipes, singing songs backwards.
