After the Work Was Done

 

After the work was done

We rested in the field

Drank deep, released our sweat.

The sweet musk of earth

Mixed with the scent of us.

Breathed deep the both of us

Returned our spirits to the afternoon sun.

 

We lay so close

I could feel the heat of you.

The heat of our work,

The heat of the day,

The heat of me,

The heat of both of us

Seemed to radiate

We shimmered in the sun.

 

Our breathing

Joined a chorus of dusts in the field

Being caressed by a breeze

That moved in graceful counterpoint

To seed heads sparkling in the sun.
