by Doug Tanoury
Undressed, there is a quiet vulnerability
She wears and like nature herself, she is never
Truly naked, but rather, always holds something
Back that remains partially hidden and is never
Fully revealed.
A nude frozen for a moment in her bath,
Something Bonnard might paint, surrounded by
Diffused colors of a Mediterranean twilight,
A soft blueness of a sunset tipped slightly toward
The ultra-violet side of the spectrum that is more a
Property of the atmosphere than of any
Physical light.
She is a singularity where sight, sound, smell
And touch converge with such intensity,
And forces of attraction are so powerful,
That space itself is warped until both the
Tanned public and pale private places
Of her skin become an event horizon, where
Time stops, and the memory of a lover’s smile
Lingers forever
