blue ridge

the soft light teases
of muddled outlines
and simple perfumes.
the light filters through
cream-colored cotton shades
and touches down--
feather-light--
upon dappled shoulders.
with her back turned,
i trace the ridges and valleys of
vertebrae,
some rising up through hair,
others lost in the curvature.
