Lord of Arcadia

Herbaceous, lush green as spring
Sun basked, ruddy, dew sheened
Tangled, bramble snagged
Vegetal musk and black soil
Here, the Lord of Arcadia
Gamboling, wet earth patterned - cloven and burled
Run, run, gasping, drinking clear air
Hide, hide, white stalks sunk in rich mud
Teasing, swaying -
Tantalizing - catch as catch can
Matted curls dampening, wading into warm water
Succulent mouth, rose hipped
Tongue like ripe fruit, sliced and dripping
Finds one reed in seven
Music issues from her throat
Shrill and sweet
