A Field, Imagined
embracing the trumpet blast heat
a boy and girl
hide and seek
midst tall grasses
rising like promises at dawn
vibrant lightness of limbs
in a green reach
lush
effortless
two youths
seek
rush
conceal
never quite hidden
nor wanting to be
in verdant bits of impulse
rotating
rolling
aromatic blooming that bridges heckling trouble
with energy deflating
in a random shuffling of touch
she ruffles his hair, tufts of flaxen straw
to trace sweat lines on a sun-brown cheek
as if happiness could be cupped like water in hand
in this field
absolved from the discord of home
their plain surface vows
comforting
like the grass rolled flat
under surges of joy
