THEIR NAKEDNESS SEEN.

A YOUNG COUPLE HAVING MADE LOVE HAVE TO RUSH WHEN HIS MOTHER IS SEEN COMING.

He always thought

hers was a peasant's body

not as a critique

but by something

about the simplicity

of the way she walked

or stood or the way

she lay on the double bed

one hand resting

on her naked abdomen

her brown haired head

on a pillow at rest

the way one leg

was raised

one flat down

on the bed

the small area

of pubic hairs

he was by the window

of his bedroom

looking at the garden below

then up along the road

the afternoon sun

settling on the trees

aren't you coming

back to bed?

she said

still not satiated ?

he said smiling

sensing his pecker move

not of you

she said

or of Percy

if he's willing

he sniggered

at her nickname

for his pecker

the green bus went by

along the road

good God

he said

that's her bus

whose?

she said

my mother's bus

she’ll be here

in a few minutes

she lay there

open mouthed

uncertain of what

to say or do

you'll have to get up

and we'll go

before she wonders

what we were doing

up here

he said

she moved from the bed

as if in a daze

her nakedness complete

her breasts bobbing

her hands searching

around for her clothes

he moved faster

hurrying his dressing

taking quick glimpses

through the window

his mother was not

in view

he took a glance

at his lover

semi dressed

hair in a mess

her naked buttocks

disappearing

into cloth

he loved that final glimpse

of nakedness

that final sight

of bare flesh

his mother was in sight

along the road

quick

he said

downstairs

and she grabbed

her stockings

and shoes

and followed him

down the stairs

two at a time

her bare feet

sensing the cold floor

through the kitchen

and out the back door

along the brick pathway

he closed the door

and locked

and put the key

back under the mat

and speedily

followed his lover

into the woods

the ground prickling

beneath his feet

and she smiling

out of breath

hiding behind

the old shed

putting on her stockings

and he wondering

how it may have been

if his mother

had caught them

making love

and their nakedness seen.
