Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 101: An Artist's Pose

From Boris Hoppek's Tokyo exhibit "Ever"

artiste

no one cares

why the sun rises 

above your 

consort bed. 

all that matters 

is you -  

the artist's muse, 

fringed in comfort, 

listening for a 

lover's footsteps 

fading distant early 

morn; 

you - 

posed languid 

for this never-ending

sculpted ruse 

of night.
