Satisfactions of Summer
She wanders in the tall grass
swishing and swaying
as she glides past him
giving him a gentle nudge
He is unsure of the right response
lets her push up against his back
doesn’t get up
doesn’t retreat either
She circles around him
small noises of encouragement
another push
harder this time
Shows him what she wants
oh he is so shy and gentle
yet his look is full of desire
and she is so ready
Once again she wanders in the grass
I call softly from the bridge
go ahead she wants you
she is yours it is time
He stands and approaches slowly
he quivers and so does she
I walk away
it is their moment after all not mine
Later in the day I pass them
glowing side by side
they are summer’s afternoon delight
small black boar and his pot-bellied pink sow
