THE MILKING |
---|
She showed him the milking, his head pressed on her side, deep and mother-belly-full how a squeeze, then a stroke brought streams of release to fill up her pail; he showed her the castle the stiff crest of a hat how Roundheads and Kings men suckled their Civil War tit; on the straw bed of her shippen he turned her bucket red. |
