Artist's Sketch

.

Her eyes 
smile back
at his furtive glances
as she swishes sideways
and flings wet ebony hair 
over her left shoulder, 
revealing a lovely neck 
and nape.


With a towel, 
she caresses her
tresses, turns her head, 
twists the carefree 
sliver of hair. Hurriedly,
wrung water meanders
down, down her 
back.
