"She is Waiting"

Model; Emily Franklin Taken in Sierra Cabrera, Spain


 Indigo skies hang low in
stucco landscapes; she rests in a tapestry,  
tucked away somewhere deep inside
valleys filled with topiary …
a place to recline in silk and lace,
leaning on rocks’ coolness, balancing,
placing night behind her
Shifting clouds in the background
leave layers on her silhouette,
worn, loose and plaintive,
reposed

  8. Loose- except for the tension in her toes? In fact, the whole thing has the same tension coiled like a spring, ready beneath the stillness...

  9. Pamela, lovely. This would work just fine without the picture; you capture her so well.
