Loves Disappointment

- My braces are pinching me and I remove them but really I only want to get closer The harder grasses prickling our arms but why does she complain so little The sun beats down and the clagg is to swished away from exposed flesh Her focus is love or lust or me for now at least The wood wasp announces its arrival and stands still in the air and looks Too early for distraction he thinks and gone in a split second. The summer sun beats down and hums as far as the eye can see She arches her back a little and peels her long auburn hair behind her ear and smiles Anticipation pent up amoungst the tall waving ears of meadow grass and poppy She asks is this grass tall enough beside the river bank The river chuckles and laps and quacks with ever notes of time going by Again can anyone see us she says. Don't worry there's no one for miles. She stiffens and recoils in a fractional notice and my torrent ebbs some what I sit up on the tartan rug. Look there is no one my love and I stoke her ankle I turned my head to the river bank opposite to an anxious man sitting up too The tall waving grass as if supporting the lone head of this man this courting spoiler My torrent disappears down. A drive becomes my angered disappointment contained My beauty in lace white and of steady eagerness then abates with my news I told you. I told you. And her heart shows me no sad disappointment no loss Gathering our selves and bits of grass dart away past cocks of meadowed hay
