I looked to cross this field
from hip to rounded hip
but have fallen into
this dark enticing pit
I lay my head against
a dewy shrub
that bounds the valleys height
and look up to the skyline
twin peaks
overshadowing
erect
I enter the damp
cavern of delight
streaming walls
and slippery
I batter blind
about
thump my head
again
again
against
the bony roof
until the sudden
life blood
from
my temples
comes thundering
slaking the thirst
of ages
