Barefoot, you Tarzan, me Jane,
Swinging from tree to tree,
Playing tag with each other,
Our laughter duets
Bending with the birdsong of the forest,
You jump into the river
And I hear the splash,
But miss seeing you
Swimming under water
And creeping out round the river bend.
I scale down the tree like a monkey
And, smiling, call your name.
You throw a stone into a bush
To divert my eyes,
And creep up behind me.
A twig snaps and I turn
And melt into
Your safe, strong-branch arms,
Your electrifying fusing kiss,
Your secret soul.
