just there you see

 just there you see

to walk childhood’s fields again

with the sun’s eyes upon the grasses

a tear lodged yet long in eye

and but not one day passes

when i do not think of you my son

at the spring of a summer’s sky

reflected cool in my roving eye

the sweet waters slowly running

and the gingham bright young lasses

you bee the heather’s lizard sun

on secret newt bricks damply lazing

the winged heels of youth in flight

down all the ventured turns of days 

spent under a blazing look you why

don’t we this or don’t we that

and why not this and not this that

sped on lust all the pollen days away

chests full of sloe’s lovely molasses

we ran and knelt the field’s empire throne

the curtained dusk in baulk at asking

for no more can we stretch this day

or live even just one more little minute

be satiated here now upon these dreams

for sweet dreams will never limit how

this summer solstice sweetly trifle

spooned down on cool sheets basking

under a slow moon’s tender asking

there you see

just there you see

that’s where we’ve been 

and where we’ve been we’ve done it
