Shy

Shy

He jerks
The door open after bathing.
The steam oozes out a deep musky sigh.
She peekaboos through the pine door slats,
Across a narrow landing wanders her eye.

Baby he calls her,
'Take a look, look!
Dis a wa born and form you.'
Her mouth open wide - peering in his eye,
She stands in shock as a pillar of stone.

Sniffle, snuffle, she starts to cry,
Crystal drops roll from her bashful brown eyes.
He leads her to the room on the right,
Together they lie in a tight embrace
As Dawn breaks in through the curtains.
