I Only Saw His Back
I only saw his back
as the man went from the shore;
his tee-shirt was a turquoise blue
Such wide shoulders -
a turn-on for any girl,
and a firmness in his step
His hair was thick;
and now, my dear, I'm struggling,
for I only saw his back
I will him to have children,
that man whose back I saw...
many children, who will run across the shore.
