Heels
After four days of teetering around on stilettos
draped in furs and diamonds
going to all the most glamorous events and parties,
rubbing elbows with A-listers
she didn't want to look at the foot
of the bed when she awoke
fearful she would find a crime scene.
She didn't dare try to stand by herself.
Where was that damn man
when you needed him
he'd certainly used her enough
(not that you could tell).
She couldn't get to her purse
where she kept her pain relievers
and there was no damn alcohol at hand…
possibly room service
would get her the help she needed:
show some skin, hint at a promise.
She'd do anything for relief,
but no more damn heels.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
