The luminous process of the owls was nearly at an end and the silence of the valley was slowly returning<\/p>\n
From our bed I could see a heat mist gathering above the trees<\/p>\n
It was unlikely that we would stray far from the veranda due to the heat<\/p>\n
In an hour I would collect the drowned insects from the swimming pool<\/p>\n
It was a thankless task as the doomed creatures would return and drown during the night hours<\/p>\n
Insects are immortal in the valley<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You were lying on your back staring at the rotating fan that quietly hummed above us<\/p>\n
I looked at your breasts and desired you but I was trapped in my own torpor<\/p>\n
A bead of sweat ran down your arm<\/p>\n
I caught it with my finger and watched it dry within moments<\/p>\n
This was our sixth honeymoon<\/p>\n
Honeymoons are always taken in the valley<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After bathing I sat in a wicker chair looking at the erotic fruits<\/p>\n
\n
You were naked and taking a swim I envied your composure<\/p>\n
\n
A native brought me an iced tea in a tall lemon glass<\/p>\n
\n
The poor man was watching your light recreation with sad eyes<\/p>\n
\n
He realised that you were unobtainable and wanted to kill us both<\/p>\n
\n
Resentment often festers red in the valley<\/p>\n
