Heartsleeve relinquished
her remaining resolve
around her ankles
Stepping out of her apprehensions
long enough to feel unfettered
she made the mirror lie once more
to the smooth of her soft scented skin
She fell into her reflection
seeing more than met her eyes
in her imagination
she fingered her frustration
white knuckled on the wall

Whoa! Uh, I mean, giddy-up-go, Lori. When you decide to "come out," you do it in gr-a-a-a-nd style. Fun-tas-tick play on words here. Stand. Clap. Clap. Take a bow, or curtsy, whatever floats yer boat.

There's a lot more here
than first meets the eye.

Well done!

Jerry, bel1e and Sunshine,
Thanks for giving this piece your attention.  It is not my usual fare so I'm glad you could appreciate it.
