IN THE BORING VILLAGE

In the boring village where he works
- an assistant in a general store; still very young
- and where he’s waiting for two or three months more to pass,
two or three months more, for work to slacken,
so he can go into town and fling himself
without delay into the activity and fun;
in the boring village where he waits
- he went to bed tonight beset by passion,
all his youth aflame with desires of the flesh
all his exquisite youth in exquisite intensity.
And in his sleep sensual pleasure came;
in sleep he sees and possesses the figure,
the flesh he so desired...
