DAYTIME NEGLIGEE

Look at you trumpeting

your transparency

to the sun. You have

nothing to hide.

Your beauty is sheer,

see-through.

Your every vein

is brazenly on display.

Everything about you

is open and opening,

voluptuous, audacious,

unabashedly vainglorious.

Though Nightshade

is your name,

no part of you

seems to know it.

Neither night nor shade

can hold a candle to

the way daylight dapples

and adorns you.
