tall grass whips my calves
foreign cawing fills the night air
your fingers briefly glance off mine
as we trek the untrodden plains
the African moon sheds enough
to see the shine in your eyes
as you peer through the dark
in my direction
lips meet lips
before I can speak
and are gone again
before I can taste
reality tows me back
kicking and screaming
yet again
daylight is my curse
