Accidental voyeur 2

Stephan walked out of the room
in his shorts
as I stirred from my sleep
on the bone-aching floor

He’d promised us breakfast
headlines and tea
so I stood up and
pulled on my jeans

Anna sat and smiled
from her pillows
watching me dress
from her side of the bed

Then swung out her legs
to the carpet
the dressing table
reflecting her face

The light in the room
was subdued
the curtains still drawn
as the kettle boiled

She looked in the mirror
and smiled
then pulled off her nightie
and shook out her hair

She searched me
with clear green eyes
as I bathed in the light
her smooth Celtic skin

Then I smiled back
and walked out the door
for breakfast and headlines
with Stephan
