In Her Garden

“Oh, Thor, the sun is playing 
with you and there is a sweat 
on your face!” Wife said.

Strolling in the garden 
of her life, the fruits are ripen
‘though the air is so dry.

“Thor, let me pick 
a juicy strawberry for your 
mouth!” She teased. 

I led her— 
as she closed her eyes, sipping 
my rugged breath.

“I’ll be your earth, my Thor. Sow your seeds 
in me. I’ll water them with dews of my heart
and keep them warm in the womb of love!”

Gently, I bent my head at her breasts 
and smelled the honey-scented milk
of her sweet Clematis Cirrosha skin.
