throwing back hair, sultry under silken shawl
scrutinizing her groomed shimmering form.

then stopped to take a more admiring look.

he tore himself from his dashing figure.
“How asinine, dear heart,” he ejaculated.
“To love oneself is most divine!”
Embracing by mirror and window
they stood, idols with eyes of glass.
