Five things you always wore with style
That fire-red hoodie,
Those sparkly slippers;
Your virgin-white nightgown.
The cut-off denim miniskirt, on which,
while you drove, I liked to put my hand -
Not-so-secretly
loving
the pleasant resistance of your thigh
underneath the fabric;
Also, the longer one, the dark gypsy skirt, which, each time you put on,
you’d show off for me with a flourish
and a smile.
And that smile: it really went with the skirt.
Perfectly.
