Poem by Alexandra Bakonika

THE NAKED COUPLE

He got lost in the lush verdure
trying to find a path to the sea
while we stood somewhere higher and waited

he climbed back up puffing
let’ s go further, the slope here
is too steep

on the other hand

the naked couple looked fine

among the trees
two bodies
joined in one

like a valued trophy
of the most innocent exploration

which our guide pointed to us later  
when they also descended

to the same beach
