They stand in silence looking at each other.
He then approaches her to raise her flowers—
And then she smiles, and he says foolish things,
Deliciously absurd and foolish things.
The insects are abuzzing, and the leaves—
The foliage of the bushes and the trees
Are whispering—are gossiping in whispers.
He takes her by the hand and kisses her,
He kisses her and takes her in his arms,
And carries her behind a clump of bushes.
