Back to School



BACK TO SCHOOL
A pantoum


It is the end of August,
When children return to school
And we long for noisome lust
As the autumn days grow cool.

When children return to school,
There is time for us once more,
As the autumn days grow cool.
To steal afternoon amour.

There is time for us once more,
With passions full violence,
To steal afternoon amour.
With no restraint or silence.

With passions full violence,
We still wait and stew and foam.
With no restraint or silence,
Our grown children still are home.

We still wait and stew and foam.
It is the end of August,
Our grown children still are home.
And we long for noisome lust
