Exhibitionist: She's not catching the bus this morning
And so, she lets him watch
as she rises from the bathtub,
slick, with bubbles sliding
down her naked body.
After a slow show of her
preparing for her walk to work,
the neighbors are keen
to study her gait.
Walking in the
brisk morning air,
she opens her coat
and shivers from the cold.
Side streets she crosses,
one by one,
as she walks to the signal.
The long street she walks down
early morning alone,
is a canyon of limestone
townhouses on both sides
that bounce back and forth
the persistent meter
of her stiletto pumps,
echoes like pistol shots.
Tenants in their robes lean
from their windows above,
struck by the vision of her,
and no one seems to mind.

Ooh, I think we`re all entitled to a little voyeurism particularly a woman walking in stilettos beneath your window ... Excellent, thought provoking ink, Jade(y) ... love to you ... ~Devlin.

Interesting way to assemble a poem Jade. Made for an great read! It reminds me of how I once created a poem from the titles of all of my introspective/self poems. It worked very well. It's called "A Self-portrait of Holes in a Story". Even the title came from other poems. I think I will record that one tonight. I can't make recordings of my poems during the day or evening because of all the background noise. Car horns, construction from the casino they ate building down the street, sirens from police, fire and ambulances constantly racing around town, kids next door yelling and various noises from the bar downstairs and whatever they are stomping on upstairs. Makes me want to move to the country...

Thanks so much, Joe, for stopping by for the read and express!
I know too well what you mean... how it goes when recording (or trying to, lol) recitations when outside interferences occur.😁

You spoil me, Geoffrey, but it's kinda nice, and lovely the way you've often supported my works on your RL. Let's go for another stroll soon!

Why thank you, Anon, for visiting, to enjoy my fresh air walk. The structure is from four different endless Forum challenges I posted in. I saw that I had written a poem, post-by-post, so I spliced them together as one and -- voila!💡

Thank you!
Well, my first artist's passion of expression was as a traditional, painting with acrylics, pencil & pastel renditions, and Pentel marker sketches, so painting with words is now my main medium.✌️👩🎨
