The Eroticisms of Desert Blooms

in #poetry7 years ago

In the soft hot, tanned desert sands
like her thighs
spotted by craggy, desert rock koppies
like her nipples, that mole and freckle
lies a fountain with a river running from it
surrounded by acacia savannah cattle-grazing land
is a flower among the reeds of the river
in which all her beauty glows
and I lie in it.
