Him: I wonder what would happen if
I smudged buttercups
on my wife's nipples
Her: the hand water-pump
gushes water into my open palms
like my husband this morning
Him: the wintering birds
follow their migration
just like my hands
follow mine to her naked behind
Her: when I shuck peas from shells
clinking into a metal pan
until the bottom disappears
filling to overfill
it is like unbuttoning my blouse for him
Him: she holds the zucchini
& looks oddly at me
