Portrait of a Woman Buttoning Her Blouse

In a window
romantically shadowed
by streetlight
pulling a stray thread
thinking about all the ways
to pronounce the word
angel

    Until the last line this could be a Hopper painting, then it just melts to something warmer.

    Got to be careful of those stray threads, they often unravel what is necessary.

    The backstreet glimpses of dressing up can be mystifying!
