my white dress

My white dress…

Knows nothing

It fits like him and I
Snug and chic and oh-so-soft
It knows nothing of our moment
Of surrender or
, the way my body really looks, the scent of us together, or his Icelandic eyes

It knows nothing of
Our clumsy life,
Our throw-down, the hugeness of this love

my white dress...
Assumes everything
And lies in stillness
I’m the life that puts it in motion
And his is the one I will move with
In every dance,
Every chance
I want my dress and I to float up to him
And vow, with honeytongue,
To have and have and hold him

(My white dress is surrounded in a lie like diamonds)
