Nude, Descending a Staircase
Nude, Descending a Staircase*
Nude, descending a staircase.
Sunlight gleaming off the smooth curves
of the still warm, wet, torso.
Soft foamy shampoo halo
surrounding mounded hair,
damp, hurried footprints follow.
Squinting eyes peer through
gossamer curtains,
impatiently waiting in anticipation,
a noonday rendezvous.
A whispered exchange
in the cooling breeze of open door,
exciting the senses.
Climax…words uttered
in the chilled heat of passion,
echoing through the halls…..
“Who ordered this freakin’ Pizza?”
