When I saw their shoes and shirts abandoned
at the edge of the meadow profuse with wild flowers,
I knew---of my own nature, also that this,
this moment might be their coupled beginning.
(Despite old prudes' and haters' prejudice,
nothing about them or between them was amiss;
nor was it sinning).
Long haired, their cargos baggy and their socks grass-stained,
they paused beneath a trees shade to share
a slow, wet, very tongue-swirling kiss,
commencing the erotic bliss
and the ultimate convergence of
their souls in the intimacies bestowed by Love.
