There are fields and fields of chases
countless poppies, wheat shafts
gopher holes littered like land mines
ready to twist any ankle that turns
around such entry to a home.
I will not chase you - no
instead, I will lie flat between
the golden heads, contemplate sky
listen for the sound of your feet
as you return slowly, weary of hunt
your long legs sinking tender over mine.
