Kaleidoscope

At the back window,

I peered through the slats

of my horizontal blinds.

Not very far away, framed

by the leafy branches,

was the top of the high dive.

I raised the blinds. Then I rested

my elbows on the windowsill

and put the binoculars to my eyes.

She walked to the end

of the board, stopped,

and turned around.

Her nipples were stiff and I

could see their darkness

through the white of the fabric.

Take all the time you want,

I told her in my mind.

Stand like this all night.
