Early July and Judith sat on the wooden fence beside you over looking the pond which she called the lake dressed in a plain grey skirt and green blouse her brown hair brushed untidily as was per norm her hands beside her balancing her on the top beam mum said men are not to be trusted Judith said me included? you asked you especially she said smiling she didn’t mention you by name just said men in general and my dad looked at her sideways on pulled a face then carried on with his breakfast a jackdaw flew across the pond noisily making Judith jump ****** bird nigh on made me wet myself she said following the bird’s flight what made your mother go on an anti men campaign? you asked watching two ducks move across the water’s skin I think she saw us coming through the woods behind your house yesterday after school Judith said we were too close together mum said but where she was to see us I have no idea hanging from a tree maybe you said don’t think so Judith said smiling maybe she’s spying on us now? you suggested Judith looked around her then back at you don’t say that I almost had kittens it’s not kittens you have to worry about you said sunlight flickered through high branches birds sang white clouds moved slowly overhead you touched her hand with yours felt her warm skin her fingers her short fingernails she looked at the flickering sunlight I know she said softly come on let’s go near the lake she said and jumped off the fence and so did you and walked over the grass to the pond’s side under a vast sky of blue.

EARLY JULY MORNING LOVE.
Early July and Judith sat on the wooden fence beside you over looking the pond which she called the lake dressed in a plain grey skirt and green blouse her brown hair brushed untidily as was per norm her hands beside her balancing her on the top beam mum said men are not to be trusted Judith said me included? you asked you especially she said smiling she didn’t mention you by name just said men in general and my dad looked at her sideways on pulled a face then carried on with his breakfast a jackdaw flew across the pond noisily making Judith jump ****** bird nigh on made me wet myself she said following the bird’s flight what made your mother go on an anti men campaign? you asked watching two ducks move across the water’s skin I think she saw us coming through the woods behind your house yesterday after school Judith said we were too close together mum said but where she was to see us I have no idea hanging from a tree maybe you said don’t think so Judith said smiling maybe she’s spying on us now? you suggested Judith looked around her then back at you don’t say that I almost had kittens it’s not kittens you have to worry about you said sunlight flickered through high branches birds sang white clouds moved slowly overhead you touched her hand with yours felt her warm skin her fingers her short fingernails she looked at the flickering sunlight I know she said softly come on let’s go near the lake she said and jumped off the fence and so did you and walked over the grass to the pond’s side under a vast sky of blue.
