Voyeurs


the mother is beautiful behind the glass shower door
bent over her growing restless daughter

she moves quickly       constantly        to keep
ahead of the feverish temperament                her long
dark hair spilling over her thin shoulders
she gathers it again at the back of her neck as she rinses
her twirling daughter in the light spray
                                                            and I watch
as she washes her tired bending body impatiently
                                   
her daughter sitting under the spray also watching.
