The radiant girl looks down submissive
A smile that's flirtatious, not aggressive
She suddenly lurches forward
Fell onto the floor awkward
Facedown nude waking up delusive

" I am naked nude
I am spiritually directed true
Naked I am coming down an angel
God and my parents co-created me
I am nude spiritual
Nude descending a staircase
Placed in Fallopian tube
Spiritually nude
Stepping down heaven and creation stairs
Nude spiritually improved
Step-by-step
Breath of Life
Placed in me -
Nude descending a staircase
Step-by-step
Naked physically
Nude spiritually
God Gave Me Breath
Grows me places me in the womb
Leavin Heaven's Door
This mansion home
On a vacation journey
To terrain place earthen space ..
Is this the norm
I'm nude descending a staircase
I Rise I breathe I'm chosen
I'm an embryo as I walk I descend the stairs
I am the temporal Journey from Heaven to Earth for what it's worth
I am 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?”

The canvas is painted in ochres and browns
Suggesting a figure, the staircase coming down
Be it masculine or feminine is for your mind to see
The artist’s title denotes it descends in nudity.
The body parts are not displayed so exact
Demonstrating movements that appear somewhat abstract
Stare as long as you like at the naked body parts
It now hangs in Philadelphia at the Museum of Art.
The name of this Modernist display is recognized by many
Although knowing what it looks like – you may not find any
“Nude Descending a Staircase, no 2” is a title known well
Painted by Marcel Duchamp in nineteen and twelve.
Although some will be disappointed when they finally take a look
This painting is a masterpiece in my artistic book.
