girl sitting, naked
save for pair of
dress boots, pink
and tasselled.
boor-zhwa-zee armchair,
sitting
opposite her, window. Bare,
save for a
summer low-cut
curtain, barely modest.
She peeks underneath the hem,
and outside
opposite side of the street,
house.
Unornamented, save for
an unmown moat lawn, and moans
of familial life escaping from within.
Life that means the world to itself.
Across the street, she peeks at this
almost-silent house, and the house winks back
in the receding evening;
waiting.
