My Friend

My Friend…….(written about  2010)

Tell me grass and grain and handsome men

Do you in pity see me by

And wonder if the willows grow

High above and there I kiss

Or hide within the heart the shame

I sit in red of weeds and seeds

To write upon the yellowed hill 

This page and yearn suns blessings

Of back and arch of limbs and chest

In day as you lift your muscles tight and I sigh
