…In fallen
leaves
deep under
many browns
dry summer
canopy
still
walking
a trail wide
beside
the
broad
grey stoned
creek
trickling A naked skin
and light young woman beside
a steep place
stands
where the path
cuts into the
side of a hill
He
walks
down
to her
She turns to him
She looks slowly
away
She is wooded and dusty
leaves slide down her
as if she were stone
Joy
rests lightly
in her round touch and waist
She turns and pulls him in
to kiss
But before their lips
join
he hears
the clump and scrape of horses many
and panicked Ahgreyeuss
says
"Naked stone
we must hide from horsemen
hunters
conceal our bodies"
Ahgreyeuss lifts her
runs
lays her down and quiet
in a hollow
of the slope
by the roots
and they watch
the horsemen
stop to camp
She sees now
one group of horsemen
rides by
one group leaves the trail
to camp
The horsemen talk and laugh look about
and there by the creek
the horsemen find them
stony
