Peekaboo

Fifth floor walk-up, light is fading, 
lamp is lit, the curtains stay pulled back;
loose-limbed and limber like a tiger 
set to spring she's geared up for 
the evening's entertainment. 
Hungry eyes in mirrored windows watching,
palms sweaty and expectant. 
She's on her mettle, 
going through her game plan 
with a slow and sensual grace, 
puddling her garments 
and purring like a cat,
her pulse is racing!
The flutter of her heartbeat 
and the shortness of her breath
betray the depth of her excitement.
She draws the drapes, 
the game is done, yet her vanity 
still cries for validation.
