31 LUCKY EARTH
(1989)

I bend to kiss the flower
Red and white
Kiss it till it opens

I float in cool water
Entwined in water-weed
You lie below me
Dappled on the stream-bed

I spread my hand wide
You rise, ripe beneath my fingers
Cloud on the mountain
Fruit in skin of fruit
No space between us
As I kiss the flower again

Lucky earth
And sky above
Touch all
Of all they love
