The Sun has changed the color of the field

The Sun has changed the color of the field
from purple to a rich orange. The valley
of her back is curving, her hands shield
her eyes from the sharp light. O her belly
is softer than a cloud or a green pasture!
It is softer than the light of a distant
painting from another era. The gestures
of an artist—I was in love the instant
I heard her sing. I had an unclear picture
of her posture when I was not the man
I am today: the curving skin, the moisture
on her lips, the dancing form of a woman
with delicate lines. The light has moved
across the earth revealing our true love.
