Vintage 70s Girl

Poetry and Prose from personal experiences.


70sgirl
alone in a tuck of sheets  . . .
where earlier she folded in his embrace
Sunlight teases a summons rise
Cajoling rival shadow to retreat
In winks through shuttered  blinds askew
Abstract perspective cloaks the muse
reflected in a play of  light
. . . that reaches to touch her silhouette.

70s Girl - July 14, 2009
