Pre-date-Her

somewhere in the margin
she waits ..
like an anaconda, pike or
crocodile ..
while the smell of flat fish
grilling
and the sound of us both
splashing
in the shallows ..
served only to excite her
even more ..
although not a single one
believed us
did they darling ..
they were all far too busy
preening ..
and of course, quite simply ..
otherwise
most deliciously engaged ..
