Disappointed

In an ostentatious display
Of joie de vivre
She was observing
The delicate shape of her hand,
How her thick round fingers
Tapered into long slender nails.

Then she checked
If anyone was watching her,
Disappointed,
She went off to sleep.

Excerpt from Chuo Line and Other Poems by Mukesh Williams
