SOMEONE'S HEAVEN.
And Baruch met Yehudit
by the pond
through the woodland
over a few fences
and through fields of cattle
avoiding cow pats
the morning air warm
and she waiting there
gazing at the pond
at the ducks
swimming there
birds flying across
the water's skin
the trees in full leaf
and she turned
when she heard him coming
thought you might not come
she said
she was wearing
an old green skirt
and white blouse
and her brown hair
was held in place
by a green band
I said I'd come
he said
yes I know
but people sometimes
let you down
she said
he stood beside her
at the water's edge
have a problem getting out?
he asked
a bit
she said
Mother insisted on me
doing this and that
and where
are you going anyway?
she asked after
I did the chores
to see Baruch I replied
oh him my mother said
she sat down
on the grass
and he sat next to her
she sat cross legged
he sat with his legs
out straight
looking
at his old shoes
not impressed by me then?
he said
not impressed
with any male
she said
except her sons
and even they
have to meet
her standards
nice legs
Baruch said
pointing to her thighs
showing
where her skirt rode up
she pulled it over
her knees
you don't help your case
she said smiling
she watched as a swan
landed on the water
and swam as if it
owned the pond
beautiful isn't it?
she said
almost like you
he said
I'm being serious
she said
so am I
he replied
she didn't stop
you coming though
he added
it was close
I had to promise
not to get into mischief
she said
o that's messed up
our day then
he said smiling
she looked at the trees
above her head
I think someone
told her
about seeing us here
she said
what just sitting here
watching ducks?
maybe not just sitting
she said looking at him
her eyes light blue
in the sunlight
had that
draw me in
and see Heaven look
about them
her lips parted
the tip of tongue
ah then
he said
maybe
she said
not impressed?
he said
no don't think she was
who saw us?
God knows
she said
probably does
but He won't tell
Baruch said
you shouldn't blaspheme
she said
he kissed her lips
as she spoke
the words being swallowed
and she closed her eyes
and lips kissed lips
and the swan flew off
the wings breaking
the still air
but they still kissed
as if in someone's Heaven
there.
