Mannequins

It is here
In this alley littered with trash.
Where a man drives alone in the night.
	Braking.
	Motioning.
	Waiting.
Where a high-heeled woman bends down to his window.

It is here
On this street I come to find you.
With your skin that is smooth.
With your face twisted and pale
And a name no one knows.

It is here
In this dark room
Where your naked body glows red
In the pulsating neon light
That I make you do things to me.
Though I stare now and again into your empty black eyes.

I think you might enjoy my poem Red Door. This is a very real portrayal of both parts of the picture. I wonder if she see's anything with those empty eyes?

Richard, I dropped by your page and tried to find Red Door, but was unsuccessful. I also tried the search engine but still could not find it. I would so love to read it. Please let me know how to find it. Thank you for dropping by and for your kind comment. Regarding her empty eyes...I think she has to become detached. She sees so many men, you know. Peace...Sam
