Damsels

Kristina Bendepende 2006 (Marondera)

Damsels

Skin tight hip huggers
Clinging to their skin like paint

Eyelids pitch black
Lips ,plump and red
Face plastered with a triple layer of light clay

They parade on the walkways
Showing off all their leggy blossoming youth
At the verge of womanhood

The shy simple damsels,
Are all but lost in the golden pages of history
