How It Happened.

How it happened

when the steps creaked under his foot –

round the corner to the second floor

How it happened

when his shoulder hit the hall –

stagger under yellowed light

How it happened

when his face disappeared –

and I can't recall if time placed the shadows

How it happened

piss beer breath and summer sweat –

middle-aged with his child in the bunk above

How it happened

best friend's father spooned behind me like a lover –

called me darling

How it happened

his wife knew, everyone knew, said nothing –

even me.
