Summer in the Country

One shows me how to lie down in a field of clover.
Another how to slip my hand under her Sunday skirt.
Another how to kiss with a mouth full of blackberries.
Another how to catch fireflies in jar after dark.

Here is a stable with a single black mare
And the proof of God’s existence riding in a red nightgown.
Devil’s child—or whatever she was?
Having the nerve to ask me to go get her a whip.

Charles Simic
