I Saw A Woman Emerge From A Shadow

I saw a woman emerge from a shadow With a sly demeanor and look about. Her sequined dress was aglow. She didn't know I was also out. I watched her remove a silver shoe And stick her foot into the mere – One of the darkest ferrous blue – As if testing the temperature. Her dress was even more brilliant - After a countenance of approval - When she crossed the bleak horizon - Careful not to soak her lunar veil.
