Hillock Hollow excerpted from The Love Tree
I want
to make love
in a hillock
hollow
where ferns unfurl
their curly toes.
I want to be swallowed
by sphagnum moss.
I want to be kissed
all buttery yellow,
sunshine naked,
gooseberry mellow.
I want to be lost
from the Internet search,
gift wrapped
in paper birch.

I love these words, “gift-wrapped in paper birch”, the birch is one of my favourite trees!
Thanks, that is an actual spot in a copse of birches and goose berries. It is a magical place.
Magical!
It is a magical spot. It is mine and the ruffled grouses, probably no one else has ever been there but my lover and I.
