Soft and Unafraid

.

 'gainst the cold ladder she rests
which run up the red aging bricks
                in the alley 
      on a gray September day

     Did this sylph belong there 
                    in her
         snug light blue jeans
          and hugging purple 
                enticing top

      she seemed comfortable

               Her gaze was
                     soft
               and unafraid
