Look at her.
Look at the way that she’s laying there
Look at the way her shoulder protrudes slightly
So that her clavicles are more visible
And her face seems a little to want to hide
Which makes her appear modest and coy.
Look at her.
Look at her mouth.
Look at the way she parts her lips slightly
To give the appearance of being receptive
To make her mouth appear rounder
To give the appearance of being soft and aroused
Look at her.
Look at her eyes.
Look at the way she looks at you
Looking up through heavy eyelids
To suggest longing
And at the same time, passivity.
Look at her
Look at the way she’s laying there
With her doe eyes
Her delicate nose
Her round cheeks
Her full lips
Her soft breasts
Her shining hair
Which frames her face like a soft cloud
And falls in rich waves that carry your gaze
Up
And down
There for you to see
She’s there
She’s here
She postures
In context
So go on
Look at her
The way that she looks is so
She just looks so
She just looks
She looks
She just looks
She looks
So
She Looks
Look
Looks, she
Looks
She
Look
Look-
In a moment you will no longer
Look-
In a moment you will no longer
Look-
Her shoulder much be aching
At this point
In this moment
In this moment She is barely maintaining your façade of effortless perfection and in the next she will surely fail and from past experience she knows that once she let’s you see behind her screen you will no longer look at her in the same way.
In this moment
At this point
She is beginning to see
Soon, she’ll rise.
She’ll stretch her legs
She’ll get up
Yes
She’ll stretch her legs
Then
She’ll extend one limb and grab hold of the left
(your left)
Of the screen
She’ll use that edge to steady herself
And as she reaches out and with another gloved hand she grabs hold of the top of the screen
With both arms steady, she will swing her legs over the bottom of her image
Shuffle forward
And
Step out of the frame.
