She shook her hands
against his right index finger
where the note of her left pant legs
lay across his lap

Her shoulders were tiny
like the grounds quiet secret
of soil that lay beneath it.

Her skin, fair
tore another eyelash
from my eyes
to match its subtle ease

They watched the night together
for the sunrise was
often found by the neighbors home
beside their lonely rooms
and constant fights

No, they watched the night by themselves
for the way he rubbed her back
was like watching a river
hold the eagles close
to their smooth current

It was now or never
for ones backyard
never waits for the seasons to come and go
never will her clothes feel like such a soft cotton
that his arms will fall to the ground
and smell the patch of dirt
that the earth made for him and her
to lye in absolute tranquil ease
bless her soft skin
for souls will never know
of what she is

oh, what a woman
