Britten

meet outside city in park
black curls combed back
dark wool sweater over shirt
you shake hands     firm grip
he pulls you towards him
in embrace and the walk begins
soon you are off the path
wandering English country-side
neat hills and meadows

he goes wherever he wants
over fences
through fields

he talks of the peace he feels in this place
peace is
playfulness in the heart
he says smiling
                darkness behind the eyes

and you feel the dark warm hug of curly wool
