Dead Ella

Dead Ella

I've forgotten everything that I thought I knew.
Forgotten the people whose stories
I blew
out of my **** to make an impression 
on you
and you 
and you.
So the woman who said I’d shown her kindness 
and thought me some earth mother goddess 
I carelessly  left behind the texture of her story
that I pried out of her with
cups of tea, gazing out at our bit of sea.
I only remembered that her dead baby was called Ella
and her Thai boyfriend had run off
because it wasn’t love 
it was a beach party.
