A Requiem For June

They smile and push each other Glistening teeth in life's rough weather Got nothing more to give than hearty smiles From rustic children to the traveler of miles! Childishly embarrassed is the unclothed kid So small his world so little his need He bows his face views the lens with shame The faraway boy without a name! In my frame is revealed her beautiful face Where from she gets such benign happiness In tattered skirt with unoiled rusty curl There never was on earth a more beautiful girl! For a while they bask in the sudden arrived fest With a stranger in June a waylaid stray guest Who would move further south to be with the sea Soon forget those children he photoed under a tree!
