And were they fraudulent pictures
of the world
the way the light played on them
creating illusions
of love?

I cannot help but think
that their “reality”
was almost as real as
my memory of today
when the last sun hung on the hills
and I heard the day falling
like the gulls that fell
almost to land
while the last picnickers lay
and loved in the blowing yellow broom
resisted and resisting
tearing themselves apart
that their “reality”
was almost as real as
my memory of today
when the last sun hung on the hills
and I heard the day falling
like the gulls that fell
almost to land
while the last picnickers lay
and loved in the blowing yellow broom
resisted and resisting
tearing themselves apart
again
again
until the last hot hung climax
which could at last no longer be resisted
made them moan
And night’s trees stood up
