Country Loving

We meandered close to hedges
Amid the wild thorns scratches
Which tore and rent our clothes
Cold east wind bit our faces
Fresh air filled our lungs
Clinging close together
Under the weak and wintry sun

That night
As we lay together
Naked in that field of clay
And rutted in the cold night air
Joined as one by love, we lay
We screamed in our crescendo
On the cold red earth below
Our freedom and our passion
As nature held us in her arms
The seed we gave was blessed
As the farmer tills his land
I filled my woman’s womb
Love had fertilised the land
We breathlessly lay together
Bound forever
By two golden bands.
