The Women of Avignon by ~sporkingitup:iconsporkingitup:



Purring at cat-calls,
women don’t play around.
Eager and willing,
supply the food,
the Eve’s Temptation.
And all the while
really remain hidden.
Masked and faking,
already taken for the gone.
Paid and stayed,
poised at the ready,
while still lying to high Hell.
Knowing no heaven,
but pretense will do.
Drunken philanderings
substitute quite nicely.
Midnight Riders,
cowboy-ing the blues.
Tempted to furtively do,
all the while stuck in explicitly be.

I hate the painting but love your poem! LOL It's a very good capture of many women stuck in bad marriages....with their own method of escape.
