OCEAN OF TALL GRASS.
There was something
about the peasant in her
as she lay there
in the tall grass
the sun shining on her
the white clouds overhead
birds in flight
there was that aspect
of the peasant
in the simplicity
of her manner
the gesture of hands
the look
of the big blue eyes
and the skirt pulled up
nakedness revealed
and he
lying beside her
taking in
her whole aspect
the summery smell
the heat
the almost airlessness
about them
distant train
steam sounds
and she said
you're to tell
no one of this
( she had said that
about the first kiss)
and he said
of course not
whom would I tell?
he lay his head
on her soft *******
cushion like
as if afloat
she murmuring
more words
he lost
in the softness
of her
the scent
of her mother
(borrowed lavender scent
from the dressing table)
if my mother ever heard
she said
there'd be hell to pay
so say nothing
my lips are sealed
he said
nosing between her *******
muffled words
a rush of birds overhead
her hands on him
resting on his back
he tongued her
breathing her in
you're my first
she said
at doing this
say nothing lad
his inner voice
suggested
words wound
say nowt
he felt her hips
fingers running over
finger tips sensing
smoothness
moving lower
sensed thighs
she breathed harder
words gone
utterings wordless
she spread herself
like a butterfly in flight
he pinned her there
in the tall grass
as he'd seen
butterflies pinned
to a board
in the glass box
at school
he breathed in
she breathed out
he smelt apples of her
mixture of lavender
and apples
and that earthly scent
of bodies in motion
the tall grass
became an ocean
waves moved and sank
she sighed
he uttered wordless sounds
she kissed his shoulder
bit flesh
he kissed her neck
lip bit
****** skin
the summery sky
the birds silent
clouds drifted
she saw them
white over blue
over white
her palms on him
pressing
caressing
he journeying
to a heaven
birds gone
sky above him
unseen
just the ocean moving
a huge expanse
of green.
