Summer Portrait

Rays of stray sunlight
 Part your auburn hair
 As you walk in the cornfield,
 Breathing breath as fresh

 As the strawberries
 That grow in the far patch
 Hard and red as nipples
 To suckle fat nymphs that

 Push past twisted tendrils
 And linger beneath watermelon
 Leaves at eventide
