NaPoWriMo Day 4

Rough and rugged.  Unedited and raw.  It comes with an enigmatic smile.

NaPoWriMo Day 4

POISED

I pull my new black stillettos

from my tossed blue duffle

in the other room

slip them onto my bare feet

then walk into the main room

there is a metal stool

in the center of the room

light flanks me

from all sides

Leaning forward over the stool

I arch

my back a bowed curve

long legs stretched

left knee slightly bent

bracing my right arm

against the cool metal

of the seat

I peer over my right shoulder

hair falling

in a dark auburn wave

over my left eye

Smiling enigmatically

I stand silent for a moment

Still silent

I take my right hand

twist my arm above my shoulder

touch the spot

between my shoulder blades

tilt my chin upwards

only my profile in view now

hair held in the bend of my elbow

delicate chin

high cheekbone

tiny ears

curved forehead

short lashes

small nose

full lips

same enigmatic smile

poised

After several moments

I laugh

kick off my high heels

pick up my camera

and gesture to the chair

See how easy it is?

I say to my wide eyed friend
