Saw her today and developed this character sketch from a momentary encounter. I was not the brunt of their ire but a quiet witness


A perfidious Woman

A perfidious woman
Middle aged but feeling younger
Loving but uncaring
Medium height gray blond
Fit in a black dress flowing
Blunt in manner arms crossed
On an ample chest striding
Heel first gait in silver sandals
Purposely across the room
Sharp attractive faced
Empathy not in her wardrobe
Her strong suit critique
Sprung stridently
With tense body language
Her sensuality a promise
Unfulfilled

Very detailed portraiture, from the physical appearance to a brief glimpse into her inner-world.

I've known women like her. They don't trust people. You have to give them a long time to decide that you're okay. If you can do that, they soften substantially.

A great work, josephus. Been in that kind of situation. See some one, in my poets mind. A story writes it self. SO good to be again reading your work.
