Reynolds
from travelogue
The cool summer grasses
retain her outline
where she has lain
beside him.
He leans over
and kisses the cool grass
that bore her weight
while she
a little ways away
smiles
and fingers the hem
of her white sun dress
feeling the sun
a continuation of his warmth
the breeze
tickling her skin like his breath.
He loves to lie
back on the grass
she loves to stand
a little ways away
know
she is being watched
while she looks out over
the sweep of green hills
there is nothing so good
she thinks
there is nothing so good as love.
