The Forbidden Rose, Anthony Howell
Her outline may undulate according to the hills, but her navel is the target when I glance: it's in a hollow framed by the wings of her hips As she lies on her side, reading a romance. The fingers of her free hand make contact with her body here and there, brushing off grains, adjusting her top, ravelling her hair. She's a bit like a pony, whisking its tail while grazing as intently as she reads. Once only, she pauses, to reach for the nape of her lover, who rests on an elbow. Behind her, baring her throat to him as the sea sends in its horses, annexes the beach and withdraws, then it's back to her book. |
